About me
Hello, I'm Arya and I would like to create a story with you! I've been a Gamemaster for two years, predominantly playing Dungeons and Dragons and Star Wars 5e. I have a comprehensive understanding of their rules. But, I ultimately believe that the integrity of the story and enjoyment of the players has priority over the rules. I'm predominantly interested in hosting one-shots. However, I am open to campaigns after I am acquainted with the interested players. Come play with me if you enjoy: ◼️ Roleplaying - Explore the world and the NPC! ◼️ Relaxing - Enjoy a low pressure environment, where we're all learning! ◼️ LGBTQ+ Content - Interact with a host of colorful characters, as interesting and unique as yourselves! ◼️ Strong Visuals - Enjoy colorful maps and other visual aids to represent your adventure!
GM Style
I like to emphasize role-playing in my sessions, and I try to create an environment conductive of my player's creativity. Combat is important, and I try to make my enemies "intelligent", rather than just goblins smashing away at an adventuring party. Consent is important, and I will review potential triggers and mature themes with the group prior to the game.

Arya is so wonderfully awesome! She has a wonderful price point and you can tell she really enjoys the work she puts into her sessions! I have had two sessions with her so far and both have been absolutely fantastic! I'm on the books for more and I am so excited!

Arya has been a longtime friend of mine and I cannot recommend her enough. She has a great background in long form character RP and writing, shes very good at breathing life into a world and making you feel for the characters if you give her the chance. At the same time, Arya is one of the calmest, most inclusive people I've ever met, she'll be good for beginners and giving voice to party member that would rather not fight for attention over the table.

I'd like to roll a persuasion check to make this GM host for us again lol
Jon Klocker
Very beginner friendly, and uses a far better site than roll20 Also very creative fights and worlds, played with a few friends and She has been a excellent DM each time she has DM'ed for us.

Being fairly new to DND, my first ever game was a bit of a disappointment, apparently due to the DM I had. My second game (this one) was great. DM was friendly and chill, and generally pleasant to interact with. The game had somewhat of a laid back vibe, and that is exactly what I wanted. Very fun, highly recommend.

After 3 1-shots with Arya, I'm still coming back for more! The first 2 each had new players mixed with experienced players, and no one felt rushed or slowed. The last was all D&D vets and we got a brilliantly-tuned epic-boss battle that was adjusted beforehand and also on the fly to fit within everyone's available playtime.
