About me

I love to tell stories! And I love to play games! TTRPGs are an amazing way to tell a collective, one-a-kind story. They're also an excellent tool for meeting friends and escaping reality for a bit! I've been playing TTRPGs for more than 10 years, and I've been running games for more than 5 years. I dipped my toe into the TTRPG waters by playing Vampire: The Masquerade and immediately fell in love. Then I was introduced to Pathfinder. Obvi, I became hooked. D&D 5e is really where my interest in running games began. I loved the storytelling aspect. I loved the roleplay. I loved it all. As a professional voice actor, TTRPGs are a wonderful platform to test out character voices. And that's an element I bring to games I run. I want to create characters you love (maybe loathe) and remember. And I want you to be able to do the same! I ensure a safe, inclusive space for all players and myself. Roleplaying is always encouraged but never required to be part of the game. The goal of any game I run is to tell an amazing story and to have fun in the process! I'd be honored to lead your gaming group to tell a fantastic story together.

GM Style

I absolutely love roleplaying as a GM. I want my characters to come to life for my players. And I'm open to coaching players who are interested in diving a little deeper into roleplaying during game sessions. It's important for me that all players feel included no more or less than they are comfortable with. I prefer a healthy mix of RP, combat and gearing up (shopping trips!). I'm also open to player suggestions. Too much RP, not enough combat? Or vice versa? Let me know! No table or game is the same, and I prefer to adapt to meet the needs of my players. Speaking of which, Session 0 is our friend! I want to know your preference for how we move forward with the game just as much as I want your character's 2-page (or 2-sentence) backstory. I want to know which topics you're looking forward to exploring and which ones are off-limits. We're in this together! And it's my job to ensure everyone at the table is having fun and feels welcome and included.

Brindolyn is an amazing GM! She is super friendly so she has a way of making everyone comfortable, which helps so much for a first time experience! She did a formidable job guiding all of us through a very satisfying experience while exploring many different mechanics and options!

Brindolyn is a great DM if you are playing for the first time. She helps guide you through your first game while also making sure the story is fun and interesting. I had a wonderful time learning from her and can't wait to play again!

Brindolyn made us feel super at home as a first time player group! It was a bit chaotic but she did a great job at keeping it all together and also answer all our questions. I think we all went out of the one shot wanting to play some more

Great GM. During session 0, the stakes of the campaign were clearly communicated. Note-taking showing interest in player backstory and agency. She had an easy knowledge of the Forgotten Realms lore, a penchant for narrative flexibility, and lots of engaging support materials in the Roll20 VTT. Pre-work of the game had several safety tools to ensure everyone could participate without reserve in the content to come. 10/10 Hope everyone who reads this gets a chance to play in a game with Brindolyn.
