About Annabelle Powers

Welcome, brave adventurers! I’m so excited to kick off this journey with you! My name’s Annabelle (she/her), and while I may not have decades under my belt like some old-school veterans, I bring a ton of heart, imagination, and enthusiasm to every game I run. In the past couple of years as a GM—and even longer as a player—I’ve learned that the real magic of tabletop RPGs comes from the connections we forge and the stories we create together. Whether we’re gathered around a physical table or adventuring online, I strive to make every session feel like a space where everyone belongs and has a voice. As someone who’s found a lot of herself through storytelling and roleplay, I know how powerful these games can be—and I love creating space for others to do the same. My GMing style is laid-back, story-driven, and collaborative. I love creating worlds that feel alive, characters that surprise you, and moments that stick with you long after the dice stop rolling. I believe every player brings something unique to the table, and I’m here to help you bring your vision to life—whatever form that takes. I strive to make every table welcoming and inclusive—especially for folks who don’t always feel like they’ve had a seat at the table. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or trying your very first game, you’re welcome at my table. I want this to be a space where you can laugh, take risks, get weird, and tell incredible stories together. I genuinely love what I do, and I can’t wait to share that with you. Let’s roll some dice, make some memories, and see where the road takes us. P.S. I’m trans femme, neurodivergent, and proudly progressive. If that’s something that bothers you, then this probably isn’t the table for you—and that’s okay. I’m here for the folks who want to tell amazing stories in a space that celebrates everyone.

I got started GMing...

A couple years ago when the activist organization started a DND club. I had never played before and even though the club lasted 10 seconds it ignited a life long passion in me.

How Annabelle Powers runs games

As a roleplay-centered GM, my focus is on weaving compelling stories and creating memorable characters that you’ll love (or love to hate). I take great joy in bringing these characters to life through voices and mannerisms, and nothing makes me happier than seeing the excited smiles on my players’ faces when they interact with them. I also incorporate lots of maps, tokens, and visual elements into my games to enhance the immersion. Whether we’re exploring a dungeon, navigating a city, or engaging in epic battles, I strive to provide a rich visual experience that complements our storytelling. I have a “fun first” mentality when it comes to running games, prioritizing the enjoyment and engagement of my players over strict adherence to rules. While rules are important for maintaining structure and fairness, I believe the story and the characters should always come first. I’m always happy to make accommodations to ensure that everyone at the table is having a great time and feels included in the adventure. As a GM, I take ethics and player safety very seriously. I’m committed to creating a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive space where everyone’s voice is heard and boundaries are honored. It’s deeply important to me that everyone at the table feels safe, supported, and excited to tell stories together.
