About Anna

Howdy! My name is Anna, and I've been running long form D&D campaigns for over 15 years. Most campaigns lasted between 1-2 years with narratives that were contiguous between them all. In those campaigns, I had 4-6 players each and had guests pop in to introduce them to roleplaying games for the first time! I also had the opportunity to run some one-shots and a short lived D&D Adventurers League campaign at my local game store that had a shifting group of 7+ players. I've written several RPGs of my own, as well as created several custom D&D Monsters, Spells, Items, and a sub class that I sold via DrivethruRPG. Between regular campaigns, I would run a vast variety of other games as one-shots, especially games that are pick-up-and-play type zines or rules-lite games. I'm currently managing and running a West Marches campaign for Rain雨, the Radical Dame~ (@TheReignOfRaining)'s Discord community with 12 active players.

How Anna runs games

My GMing style is fast paced action, focusing on player decision to drive narrative forward. Having played Apocalypse World with 10 players, I've learned that there is such a thing as too much prep. I'm known by my players as extremely improvisational, but able to maintain narrative structure and world logic to provide a richly detailed setting that provides years worth of in-jokes and stories that are still told today.
