About Bard
Living out my childhood dreams of playing TTRPGs and making new friends along the way! After not being able to find local games for some time, I decided to become a DM. Since 2023, I have had the joy of running 5E, PF2E, SF1E, and SF2E. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to make my games accessible and friendly for all I can. I look forward to telling new stories, laughing at new jokes, and crying new tears with each of you who give my games a shot! Also, catch me as Fen and Giddy on Whispers of Doom! It's a new actual play podcast featuring another SPG GM and some lovely dorks. Links are to our studio's pages! I refuse to use generative AI in any capacity in my games. If you choose to use it, I will not police you nor bring it up, I just do not use it myself.

How Bard runs games
Flexible between heavy RP and combat, whatever is best for the table! I create character voices often, and if the character matters it will stick ;) I do love some good old-fashioned crunchy combat, but a little craziness here and there can be fun. If I feel that something will break the narrative, I will likely shut it down. I also tend to go for comedic and lighthearted adventures, though I can get serious when needed for the narrative.
