About me
I'm Pigeon, nice to meet you! I am a non-binary gm who has been in the tabletop scene for almost 20 years. Over the years I have run dozens of games both personal and for my Friendly Local Game Store. I run story-driven games with an emphasis on player agency and communal storytelling. I think games are at their best when everyone at the table has a say in shaping the world and story we are exploring. It is my job as GM to be the PCs biggest fan. To me that means making sure that their lives are never boring! I believe in crafting fantastical but still believable worlds where risk, reward, and consequence reflect the story we are crafting.
GM Style
Fun and occasionally silly NPC voices of wildly varying quality Detailed description and use of soundscapes Stories driven by player choice. Focus on actions and their consequences Working with players for collaborative character beats In-depth worldbuilding (it's important that I know the regions staple foods!) Mechanics are our friend but should never get in the way of good story

One of the best DMs that I've played with. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Pigeon is a fantastic DM and storyteller. I would also add they have a talent with voice acting as they can confidently swing their voice to embody multiple characters! They were able to come up with unique plot lines and engaging jobs/quests that covered a large range of things to do. I wish I could have played with them longer, but other players being fickel with their commitment killed the blades campaign I was in.

I have had the pleasure of playing in a few of Pigeon's games and she is an amazing GM. She is an amazing storyteller and endlessly creative. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great game.
Briar Grayson
Pigeon is a great GM! They always leave a lot of room for player agency and are great at creating big, expansive sandboxy type worlds. Pigeon has GMd a lot of different genres but my favourite was always their horror games which I would describe as not for the faint of heart.
Shuthus
Pigeon is one of my favorite all-time GMs. It's rare that someone is able to match the level of details and interconnectedness that they are able to weave into their worlds. She builds lots of different kinds of settings with open world exploration, vast lore and has a great nack for finding ways to incorporate unique PCs into their storyline. They make very compelling NPCs with lots of fun voices and engaging questions, while making the whole thing feel like you're playing in an epic fairytale. There's bound to be some drama, tragedy, comedy and jaw dropping twists and reveals. 10/10 would recommend her games to both newer and more experienced players.
Bee Benton
