About Broke&Nerdy

I'm a woman in my 30s who's been playing TTRPGs weekly since 2019 and GMing since around 2020. I come from a background in theater (with a focus on directing) and forensic/legal science, and I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember. As a GM, I’ve run campaigns in Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, Adventures in Middle Earth, and Blades in the Dark.

How Broke&Nerdy runs games

I focus on player-driven games where character choices and relationships shape the world. I love when players roleplay with each other, and I try to create moments that encourage those connections to happen naturally (e.g., through downtime scenes, flashbacks, or just giving characters space to talk and evolve). Worldbuilding is a big part of how I run. I put a lot of effort into making the setting feel real and lived-in, using things like lore handouts, in-universe newspapers, custom visuals, and organized landing pages to keep everyone grounded and inspired. I also make sure all the game tools are easy to use, so players can stay focused on the game without getting bogged down. No two groups are the same, so I always adjust my approach to match the vibe at the table. Whether you’re here for drama, chaos, heists, heartbreak, or all of the above, I’ll meet you where you are and help shape a game that fits.
