About me
Hey! My name is Tara! I'm here because I love to tell stories and learn new game systems. I've been running games and telling collaborative stories for as long as can remember, and I'm excited to introduce the hobby to newcomers, as well as create unique experiences for returning players! What I bring to the table: -Rich storylines that take your character's backstories and aspirations into account -Unique, handcrafted settings to explore and shape, both through your character and through direct collaboration with me -Open communication with me about your needs as a player, from content that I should avoid to things that I can do better -A safe environment where bigotry isn't tolerated in any form -20% Discounts on art commissions of characters or events from the ongoing campaign through tea_does.art (on Instagram) -A ton of puns and stupid jokes, free of charge The Games that I Run: -Dungeons and Dragons 5e -Monster of the Week -Thirsty Sword Lesbians -Fantasy Flight's Star Wars Roleplaying Game System -Blades in the Dark (extra prep needed) -Cyberpunk Red (extra prep needed) -Tales from the Loop -Pathfinder 2e (extra prep needed) -Monsterhearts 2 (extra prep needed) -Apocalypse Word (extra prep needed) Inspirations: -Arcane and She Ra are two of my biggest draws -I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan -- in a gay way -Star Wars filled up most of my childhood -I watched Avatar the Last Airbender a few too many times as a kid -Tillie Walden's art and storytelling might be my biggest influence right now, just for how her stories amaze in casual ways, where the wondrous is normal, yet it never loses its sense of awe When in doubt, feel free to reach out to me! I am always happy to answer any questions, and I absolutely take special campaign requests!

She really lets you roleplay to the fullest extent
Rowan Moreau
They are amazing at creating intricate storylines with a bigger goal in mind. The NPCs are woven in really well with a lot of backstory going into them. She is really inclusive and has a lot of diversity in her characters. She is also really good at telling the story and describing scenes and monsters. Over all they're just an amazing DM.
Madi
I love playing in her games because of the stories and imagery she creates. Her campaigns are some of the most exciting, engaging, and unique I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. 10/10 :)
Bryan
Fantastic in regards to storytelling and role playing. Insanely good at rolling with the punches, and creating an engaging plot.
