About Below Tayble
Hey, I'm Taylore! I've been writing professionally for over a decade and have been playing TTRPGs for about five years. I'm a new-ish GM, but don't expect beginner-level storytelling. I am obsessed with crafting plots full of twists and turns, unforgettable NPCs, and fulfilling character arcs for everyone at my table. I want players to feel comfortable, confident, and empowered to experiment and collaborate, and I'm happy to work with beginner and experienced players alike. I'm also firmly against using AI in my storytelling and writing practice, so you can bet any em dashes you see are genuine.

How Below Tayble runs games
Here's what players can expect from me: 🔮 The Vibe Slow-burn character development, heroic moments, romantic tension, mind-bending mystery, spice...you'll find them all here. I tailor my campaigns to make every PC feel like they're at the center of the story, and their in-game choices echo through the story until the final chapter closes. ✨ Heavy Roleplay My bread and butter! If you love in-depth storytelling, fulfilling character arcs, and unforgettable NPCs to interact with, I'm your GM. I'm passionate about helping players to thrive and get creative with their RP. 🎥 Theater of the Mind Scenarios and settings will be portrayed through compelling dialogue and detailed description that make you feel like you've fallen straight into the fantasy world at hand. Happy to supply reference maps on a case-by-case basis (certain combat scenarios, specific settings, etc.) 🌀 Rule of Cool Creativity and fun are top priority at my table, which means I'm big on RoC. Out-of-the-box ideas are supported and encouraged. 🗡️ Light Combat You won't find any rat grinding here. That said, you can expect the combat scenarios that do arise to matter: they change the stakes, set the stage for character development, and/or impact the plot in meaningful ways. 🌈 LGBTQ+ Friendly Come on down, the vibes are good here.

Below Tayble's ideal table
I primarily run PbPs, so I love when my players "yes, and" with each other (and me!) throughout the day/week. Character-driven stories are my favorites to tell, so it's great (but not required!) when players come bring a character they're passionate about to the game.

Secrets, complex characters, and camp scenes.
I love it when a player
...lets a PC take a different path than they planned for.
I think it's a red flag when players...
...steal the spotlight from a party member when it's not their moment. Your time in the light will come!
