About me

Hi there! I'm Jocelyn (they/she), certified dice goblin, fey enjoyer, and map maker. To me, table top roleplay games are all about the story that you're telling. Everyone has their individual story, players and GM's alike, and I want to facilitate that story. I've been running games for about 5 years now and since then I've learned to just go with the flow, let players explore the world I've placed them in, and to let them come up with characters from all corners of that world. Improv is a pretty big part of my style, being quick on my feet to conjure up whatever the party may need for whatever direction they take. When it comes to Dungeons and Dragons, I love running modules and giving them my own twists and turns so that I can personalize them to whatever given party I may be DMing for. Lots of work goes on behind the scenes of my games, and hopefully you'll get to see it! So, good luck on your adventures and hopefully our paths will cross!

GM Style

I have a very improvisational style, though a lot of work goes into making the foundation for that improv, such as through working with players to integrate them into a world and building my worlds from the ground up. I also like to build a story around the player's backstories rather than railroading through whatever story I want to tell, especially with modules.

Great at storytelling with great NPCs and plot. Always friendly and puts the table in a good mood for play.

As a Dungeon Master, Jocelyn really epitomizes the freedom this platform offers. She's consistent with her scheduling and very communicative. Everything in the game is determined by player decision and consequence, and she prioritizes following both the themes of the campaign and the party trudging through it. I can wholeheartedly say every game ran by her will be a completely different experience even if it is a module she has ran before, or that you have played before. If what you're looking for is a unique, narratively driven adventure where the danger is where you personally seek it out. This is absolutely the Dungeon Master to seek out.

Incredible character arcs, fulfilling story, keeps you on edge and wanting to play more with every twist and development. Very good at predicting and planning for what her players will do. Overall, the best GM I've ever had, and the best campaign I've ever been a part of.
