About me
I was an imaginative kid who loved storytelling, so I started playing TTRPGs in middle school. After a long break from table-top and a quick foray into play by post, I returned to D&D at the peak of 5e and haven't turned back since. I love both deep storytelling and intense combat and do my best to weave the two into compelling gameplay! I'm also a massive fan of engaging one-shots that let folks try out new builds, new systems, or just take a break for their regularly scheduled sessions! My table is intended to be a safe space for beginners, women, bipoc, and lgbtqa players. I have a zero tolerance policy for antagonization.
GM Style
I love narrative, storytelling, and good roleplay. I also love combat. I'll be very clear about the balance and tone of any game I'm running to make sure you're aware before joining. I'm not a fan of rules lawyers, or main characters; teamwork is important to me, and my tables are a safe space. I have a very low tolerance for poor behavior - you'll get one warning. This is a game, we're here to have fun, if you're ruining the fun for one person, it eventually ruins it for everyone.

Ashley is a masterclass in patience. Highly recommended for beginner-focused games and for people looking for their first DnD experience (like me). Always aware that life happens and comes before the game. Whether you are an experienced roleplayer looking to try crunchier systems, or a new roleplayer, this is the place to start!

Ashley is a great GM, particularly for beginners! This is my second time playing and my first time playing a campaign, and I appreciate that she is patient but efficient in walking players through rules as well as game / platform mechanics. I also love how well she tells the story and she encourages roleplay with questions about what my character is doing and thinking.
