About Vivian

I'm Vivian resident goblin and trans woman. I have 9 years of GM experience running anything from homebrew to modules. A lot of my games are player focused on party dynamics and collaborative story telling. My games are all inclusive and I do not tolerate bigotry of any kind at my tables. Also, I love cats! :3

How Vivian runs games

My games are a healthy mix of combat and roleplaying with a focus on party dynamics and heroic fantasy. I tend to lean into roleplaying more as I think it helps develop characters and allow players to figure out solutions to problems other than: I hit the thing. In terms of combat I love challenging players, not every combat is do or die, however many of my set piece fights offer tactical considerations in terms of using the environment or overcoming an enemy's abilities. Mostly my style focuses around communication. I am a firm believer in having open dialogues with my players about the state of the game and what changes or adjustments could or should be made. I'm super focused on collective enjoyment and love feedback and group discussion.

Vivian's ideal table

My table is a fun collaborative experience where we get together to engage in a hobby we love and share in collective stories.
