About Charlene Bayer

Hey I'm Charlene, but most people call me Char! I'm a professional Actor with over 2 decades of acting experience, including voice acting for Netflix and Electronic Arts productions. I have been playing TTRPGs for over a decade, and have been a professional Game Master for over 8 years. I love creating custom worlds for my players to explore, as well as running tried and true published modules. I create voices for my NPCs, and work with my players so that the game is tailored to everyone's wants and needs when it comes to exploration, combat, puzzles, and roleplaying. It's important to me that every player has a great time every session, and that everyone feels safe at the table. Safety tools are mandatory at my table, because it's only fun to dive deep into the horror when you know everyone is having a good time! You can see videos of my GMing style over at www.youtube.com/tabletoptiddies where I have been GMing our D&D Campaigns for 5 years. Since starting my professional TTRPG career, I've played with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matthew Mercer, B.Dave Walters, Erika Ishii, Tanya DePass, and more! I hope to see YOU at my next session! I do not use ChatGPT, MidJourney, or other automation (theft) platforms.

I became a GM because

I want everyone, especially people of marginalized genders and communities, to know that they deserve a safe seat at the table. I want you to have fun and play in a welcoming community!

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

D&D 5e, for the classic fantasy adventure! Vampire The Masquerade V5, for the gothic city vibes! Kids on Bikes, for the nostalgic sci fi stories!

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Collaborative, Friendly, Brutal. (I asked my community discord to answer this question for me! Brutal is to me, as In-Credible is to Brennan Lee Mulligan)

How Charlene Bayer runs games

As a professional voice actor that has worked on Netflix and Electronic Arts productions, I love creating character voices for all my NPCs! I work with my players so that the game is tailored to everyone's wants and needs when it comes to exploration, combat, puzzles, and roleplaying. It's important to me that every player has a shining moment each session, and that everyone feels safe at the table. I love helping new players, so don't stress if you're trying something new! Safety tools are mandatory at my table, because it's only fun to dive deep into the story when you know everyone is having a good time!

I deal with rules issues by...

Hearing out the issue, and making a ruling in the moment so that we can continue the flow of the game. I'm human, sometimes I make mistakes! I'll look it up after the session and clarify what we'll do moving forward regarding that rule.

My games focus on...

Found family, fantasy adventure, a living world that is shaped by your actions and decisions, character backstory integration, and a little romance!

Charlene Bayer's ideal table

My ideal table is filled with people who want to have fun and create a story together! They are kind, and they value diversity and inclusivity! The general vibe is fun and collaborative, with a focus on RP and combat!
