About me

I was first introduced to Tabletop RPGs when my dad showed me AD&D 2e and then D&D 4e when I was around 8. There are few things I love more in this world than Tabletop RPGs, as someone who has written from a young age, I love this uniquely interactive medium and its ability to bring so many people together to experience the highs and lows of our emotional realms all in the comfort of a safe environment. If you want to run with a younger GM who's utter fascination with Tabletop spans back over a decade, then you should consider running with me. As a trans woman and neurodivergent person in this weird world, I always strive to make my games represent the vast range of the human condition in a variety of different settings.

GM Style

I highly value roleplay and fun character voices! A tough social situation should be just as intense and tactically focused as a good combat encounter.

Vivian is the absolute best! First GM I ever played with and she made me feel so welcome! She's great at introducing players to new systems and TTRPGs in general, as well as being super emotive and engaging. She made playlists for every session, and is incredibly respectful of each player's pronouns and identities. She had everyone complete a form indicating comfort level with certain topics, and then created an anonymous masterlist of these subjects and had everyone sign a consent form so we all knew to what to avoid in-game. Since playing with GMs who do not do this, I am incredibly grateful for this level of forethought and consideration. Vivian is so enthusiastic and seems to truly love what she does. She's great at immersing players in a story, and she's truly the best GM I've ever played with.

Holy moly does this woman know how to run a table! Having played several one-shots and campaigns with Vivian, I’d say her single biggest strength as a GM is her understanding of characters, with terrifically compelling NPCs and a dedication to the lore and motivations of every player character. Vivian’s games are, as a result, refreshingly character-driven after years of playing campaigns with one-note background characters and PC backstories that go forgotten after session 1.

Vivian is very fun to play with, she’s a great GM that spends a lot of time and effort on world building but also allows for a lot of player creativity

A majority of TTRPGs that I've played were GM'd by her, all of them being very fun and immersive. She's introduced me to how to play D&D and Pathfinder and I've had a lot of fun playing those games.

Always enjoyed having a session where Vivian is the DM. She structures her story well and creates an immersive experience I’ve always enjoyed the setting of each campaign and had lots of laughs while playing.

Great Gm that can create a fun and friendly mood, always sets the scene well and plays characters well. Really like doing little dungeons and encounters with NPCs. Great for those who like to get as involved as possible with the setting and game!
