About me

Hello, I'm Celeste! I'm queer, nonbinary, trans femme (they/them), and I've been playing in and running TTRPGs with my friends for about 6 years. I'm also a therapist, and I've facilitated many TTRPG therapy groups through my work as a therapist. Games run on StartPlaying are not therapy groups, though I believe any TTRPG game can be therapeutic, and I love facilitating spaces for people to explore different ways of being in the context of role playing whether that's in a therapy group or not. I've enjoyed all kinds of fantasy and sci-fi media since I was a kid and love to co-create stories in those types of settings with others. I'm particularly interested in running narrative focused games with more role play, but also enjoy some amount of tactical and cinematic combat. I love more collaborative games that involve players making up some information about the world and giving me opportunities to build on their contributions. This also lends itself to more player driven, sandbox type campaigns, which suit my style well. It's important to me to maintain an inclusive and respectful atmosphere at my tables. I won't allow for any racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc at my tables.

GM Style

I most enjoy running narrative focused game with lots of improv and a good amount of role play. I like combat that adds meaningfully to the story and feels cinematic and tense. I value collaborative story telling that involves giving players opportunities to contribute to the world building. I also enjoy adding political intrigue and faction dynamics depending on the game/setting.
