About me
The truth is, I never outgrew my love for playing make-believe: even when all the literary heroes were men; even when I was the only girl at the table; even when being a geek was not cool. I started playing RPG’s in high school. Our Advanced D&D, games started Friday night and ended sometime Saturday. RPGs have changed a lot since then, and I love that play has evolved to include character development arcs and storytelling. Of course, bashing monsters is still fun, too! We play because RPGs are FUN. I love setting up the circumstances and then sitting back and watching the shenanigans ensue. I am addicted to the moments when a player tries something I had not seen coming, or when a life or death PC moment is determined by the dice. I love welcoming new people to my table. As a GM I bring to the table patience, the ability to listen, and flexibility. I am a teacher by profession and by nature (TESOL) and get a serious high from enabling others to engage in storytelling. I will do my best to support players new to the game, as well as those who may struggle to express themselves. At my table, I take player safety seriously. Players of all levels and backgrounds are welcome. Language that is intended to hurt – racist comments, sexual harassment, etc – will not be tolerated. As a table, we will be clear about avoiding triggers, and where we draw the veil (fade to black). You can find my Roll 20 profile at: https://app.roll20.net/users/2339325/cassie-sw
GM Style
I think I generally run games "Rules as Written". Which is funny, because my players think I run more on the "Rule of Cool" game style. I guess that means I'm balanced between the two. Crunching numbers does not scare me. I've played rolemaster for 10 years - n'uff said. Role play is one of my "jams". I like to give NPC's, and monsters, voices and personalities ... and tactical sense. But I work hard at giving players plenty of space to enjoy their own role-playing, too. My other jam is visual content. I obsess over creating maps, tokens, and flavor visuals to communicate my vision of the in-game world.

Cassie is outstanding, through technical difficulties, player scheduling and character shenanigans she maintained a fair, fun, and engaging experience. She was neither too harsh on her rulings, nor too lenient on our meddling. Cass shows she is adept at adjusting the world for pacing, difficulty and role-play, even with a group of shy players who haven't met. We had multiple green players and Cassie was happy to give plenty of support on character creation and combat rulings, not to mention leaving plenty of room for the players unfamiliar with Mercer's setting. She has us hooked, it would be very hard to turn down an extended campaign. Definitely a recommend!

In summary, Cassie is a Dungeon Master extraordinaire, seamlessly blending passion, inclusivity, and storytelling.
