About me
I enjoy DMing and like creating worlds that weave players into the story. I'm pretty experienced and I like making the game fun for people to enjoy
GM Style
I like for things to be consistent and reasonable. I do have a handful of rule edits, but I am open to negotiation, and tweaking things. I want the game to be changing but for you to always have the opportunity to succeed. My ideal would be a consistent and committed group, but I'm also open to more laid-back games. I encourage roleplaying and will reward it in game. I encourage open communication and want all players to feel safe. I'm want to keep an open line of communication on boundaries, triggers, and accommodations.

Olivia is a great GM. Not only is she friendly and entertaining, she also knows how to craft an engaging story as well. She lets our characters make impactful decisions that can completely change the trajectory of the story and also gives our characters space to make their own stories as well. She puts quite a bit of effort into giving her NPCs unique and memorable personalities and making the setting feel like a lived-in world.
For an overview: Olivia is LGBTQIA+ friendly, provides a safe space, rewards great roleplay, puts in extra hours to help players or expand her knowledge of the setting, and, above all, she really cares about her players' enjoyment and loves D&D. My thing with D&D is that I'm that dingus that shows up with a 10 page backstory and Olivia was all for it. She helped to expand it quite a bit by helping to make and flesh out NPCs of an organization I came up with (a cabal of monsters who collect valuables and art) and put in a lot of extra time that I truly appreciate. While the organization is secondary to the story, she's provided me ways to interact with many elements of my character's backstory in ways that help drive the story forward and/or provide meaningful connection and roleplay. It really shows that she cares and wants to incorporate players' backstories into the main story threads. I'm quite lucky to have her as my DM.
I started with her Strahd campaign as a lvl 6 monk. I'd never played beyond Bard lvl 2, but Olivia was very patient with me and allowed space for me to figure things out. The one-on-one character sessions are always awesome, and I love the storytelling. She's always very fair with both character and player conflicts. Very well rounded DM - highly recommend.
