About me
I'm a queer, neurodivergent, disabled storyteller who really enjoys the process of telling collaborative stories while still being focused on player safety. I'm also now part of Magpie Games' Corvid Collective of GMs! I'll be the right GM for you if: ๐ญ - you enjoy RP or are looking to RP more; ๐ - you're focused on narrative, character moments, growth, and interpersonal drama over combat; ๐ฏ - you're fine with words like "shit," "damn," and "fuck" since I'm fine with them as long as a player isn't cursing at another player; ๐ฒ - if you want to start learning non-D&D ttrpg systems! ๐ - and finally, if you enjoy worldbuilding. My homebrew setting, Bright City, currently has a multiverse, which you can visit this website to find out more about: https://sites.google.com/view/bright-city-lore/home I can't wait to play with you!
GM Style
First things first, player safety is important to me and in general, so we will spend time discussing the safety tools I use in my games. Second things second, I prefer to focus on story and interpersonal drama over combat, though combat has been known to happen. I'm big on RP, not just between my NPCs and PCs, but between PCs as well and will encourage all players to do as much as possible in character. There will in general be very little combat and most of my villains have complex reasons for doing what they do and can be approached non-violently. Third things third, while I do my best to follow the rules of the game I'm running, I'm not a stickler for them and tend to err toward the side of what's most awesome in the moment. Rule of Cool. Also, even in darker games with more serious subject matter, don't worry if things get a little ridiculous. In my experience, a little bit of chaos just makes a game more fun!

Celestine put on an amazing session of Masks that wonderfully used my character backstory to help create a really fun roleplaying and storytelling environment. The whole session ran extremely smoothly and well and it's one of my favourite roleplaying experiences in a long time.

Celestine is a fantastic story teller and integrates player's backstory into the campaigns. They are a delight and I always have a blast playing their games.

I would describe Celestine as someone who has a natural love for story and character drama and this is well reflected in their games. They give plenty of spotlight for the characters to shine and also creates interactions that evolve the story and the people in it. Although my experience with them is in a short term game I have not felt rushed or that the game was on rails, there's always been plenty of time to interact and enjoy the dynamic. Celestine may be new, but they have the right instincts and the right attitude to be one of the bests and I don't say that casually. Anyone who has the chance would be lucky to jump in on one of their games.

An awesomely inclusive DM who respects all players and makes the extra effort to have all characters included and have their time to shine. Strongly recommended especially for new players who need a safe space to learn the ropes!

Celestine knows how to make a TTRPG inclusive and fun for everyone, including new players to the system and to TTRPGs in general. They build a rich world for players to jump into and let each player RP to their limit without railroading anyone. If Celestine asks you offline if they can use your character's shenanigans to move the plot along, say yes. You won't be sorry!
