About Angela McCain
(she/her) I'm a writer, voice actor, and artist with over a decade of roleplaying experience. I love to create fun, positive, and inclusive role-playing experiences where my players feel welcome and safe. All my games are LGBTQ+ friendly! I have the most experience with 5th edition D&D, but I am branching out into other systems so that folks can experience the exciting breadth of gameplay styles across the ttrpg space!

How Angela McCain runs games
I am a voice actor and writer who loves roleplay-heavy games with lots of heart and playfulness. As much as I am a fan of a good dramatic session, I find that the games I run inevitably tend toward the silly or heartwarming. I mostly rely on the "rule of cool" especially during one shots where I want my players to have the most fun with the least amount of rule cross-referencing possible :D I am a huge supporter of safety tools, and want to make sure that my players always feel safe at the table with me and with their fellow players. I like banter with my players, and don't mind a little out of character goofiness. Stories can also get a little spooky if that is an experience your looking for as well! GAMES YOU CAN HIRE ME TO RUN, EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE THEM SCHEDULED! - Stolen Hearts (Love Story Heist Adventures) - Adventures & Academia: First Class (school setting, premade character sheets) - The Sunken Archive (library/ancient artifact mysteries, based on Candlekeep content) - Tabula Rakshasa (Amnesia story, your character sheet is a mystery!) - Saturday Morning Heroes (radical 90s themed adventures, with custom subclasses!)

My games focus on...
Found family, fighting The Man, exploring fantastical locations, building relationships with a variety of characters and creatures.
I deal with rules issues by...
Usually leaning into what is the coolest for the players, and fairest top the entire party.
When it comes to voices
I am a huge nerd! I love song accents and voices and bringing NPCs to life with performances. There's almost always a cute lil guy or creature.
Angela McCain's ideal table
3-5 players, queer and queer friendly, who are interested in exploring their heroes' relationships with one another and engaging with the world and characters we create together at the table. Aren't afraid of a mix of peril, goofiness, and a touch of sincerity.

I love it when a player
Is invested in their character's emotions and experience. I love players who love to explore the space and chime in with out of the box ideas.
I am for a vibe that's...
A healthy mix of sincerity and silliness. I love a good drama as much as a good comedy, and my games often contain plenty of both. I want my players to be comfortable and relaxed at the table, so I try to focus on that.
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
roleplay, banter with NPCs, heartfelt stories, adventure, romance, found family
