About me

After working retail for half a decade, I realized that using my 10+ years as a DM could be much more lucrative and enjoyable than going back to cashiering! I host a range of roleplay-heavy games with immersive worldbuilding and wild shenanigans! My players tend to fear me, love me, or both. <3

GM Style

Roleplay heavy with a focus on character relations, with combat encounters serving as support to the story. Lore goblins and roleplayers will have a great time with me. First-time players welcome!

I have been wanting to play CoS for 10 years with a specific character and I have had trouble finding a table to play her. Viv gave this character a home and a safe place for me to explore themes that are close and dear to my heart. Viv cultivates a safe table where I feel I can unmask as a neurodivergent player with complex character wants and development. She listens. She takes into consideration what I have to say and creates a world in which my PC fits. She runs CoS with such skill that I am truly in awe of her as a DM. She is kind, approachable, and always willing to listen to learn about me as a human, as a player, and a character. She is a good people. You will enjoy her if you are someone who feels like you often don't fit into tables when you have a character that is perhaps a bit more deep than typical? And if you are looking to play CoS she is by far the best DM I have ever met to play this game with -- I have tried two other tables to play this campaign, and she is the one that won my heart and my brain. Give her a try. I don't think you will regret it.

I've been playing D&D with Viv for a year and a half, and can confidently say they're one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met. We've recently started a homebrew campaign and it's been nothing but amazing world building, deep character dives, and a great time playing. If you're looking for a great DM and friend to enjoy rolling some dice with, this is your girl.

I have played CoS a few times and even finished a game of it before, and I still can't explain how Viv has turn the story of the game on its head for me; its absolutely wonderful and so is she. Viv has given new life to an already beloved story, she has done amazing things that I can't help but love, being able to notice things from the module has become more and more rare for me as the game has gone on and I have loved every moment of it; if you love CoS, you have to grab a seat at her table when the chance presents itself, you won't regret it...

Vivian is one of the best DMs I’ve worked with. She’s equally engaging, patient and willing to meet you at your level, while encouraging you to try things without pressuring you. She is a fantastic world builder and wants you to succeed, but isn’t afraid to show you its depths and dangers. Genuinely a really kind and creative person, she does her best to make sure everyone is involved and no one is left out. I’m an inconsistent player and Vivian is so patient with me as I try to navigate my way through combat and my skills and abilities, helpful when I’m struggling but not pushy. 10/10 would recommend.
