About me

Hello! I'm Cory, a new GM passionate about creating immersive tabletop RPG experiences. With less than 6 months of GMing, I'm looking to run a few games online to level up my Gamemastery ability! My focus is on collaborative storytelling and leveraging digital tools to enhance our adventures together. As we learn and grow together, I value player feedback and am excited to explore more about the DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e systems. My sessions are open to players of any and all experience levels, whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to TTRPGs. Join me on this journey of discovery and adventure, where each session is a blend of mystery, strategy, and fun. Let's craft a story together!

GM Style

My style is fluid and player-focused, emphasizing collaborative storytelling and dynamic encounters. I'm especially excited about integrating digital tools into our games, enhancing our adventures with innovative features and seamless online gameplay. Since I'm in the early stages of my GM journey, I'm eager to grow alongside my players. I believe in a learning-focused environment where feedback is welcomed and we all contribute to a memorable experience. Whether you're new to tabletop RPGs or a seasoned player, your insights and experiences are invaluable to me. Inclusivity and comfort are at the heart of my game mastering. I am attentive to the diverse needs and preferences of all players, striving to create a game environment where everyone feels respected and engaged. This includes being mindful of and adaptable to various cultural sensitivities, personal backgrounds, and individual play styles. By fostering a culture of empathy and understanding, I aim to make our gaming sessions not just fun, but also a safe space for creativity and collaboration. Your enjoyment and well-being are my top priorities, and I am always open to feedback and suggestions to enhance our gaming experience. I firmly believe in creating a safe and inclusive space for all players. To ensure this, I actively use popular safety tools and mechanics, such as the X-Card, Lines and Veils, and Script Change. These tools empower players to express their boundaries and comfort levels without disruption or judgment. My approach is centered on open communication and respect, ensuring that everyone's voice is heard and valued. I am also committed to ongoing learning and adaptation of new practices that promote a positive and welcoming gaming atmosphere.
