About Frae

My name is Frae, but I am often called Dr. Moosejaw as my gaming name/handle. My background is in theatre acting but I am now an engineer. But, once a nerd will always stay a nerd, and with TTRPG, I have combined my love for acting and high fantasy. I have played Dungeons and Dragons from 3.5e to 4e to 5e. And I fell in love with the simplistic nature of 5e. I have played D&D for over 10 years but I have started my role as a DM in 2018 and haven't stopped since then. My style employs a lot of visuals, so expect a lot of pictures, vibrant mapping, and vibrant characters in your adventures. I also emphasize the importance of music to build tension and atmosphere. I love to create a world where everyone playing feels included and each decision that they make matters to not only the world but to the people around them. In terms of mechanics, I love to give freedom to my players, the rulebook is more of a guideline to me than it is the law. With more experienced players I have a lot of homebrew rules to make gameplay a lot more fluid, but I tend to stay with the basics for beginners. I have DM-ed for players at any level of experience and even bringing complete beginners to love the game and what it has to offer. I also would like to say that if you're paying for a DM, you're expecting a higher standard. I love to have fun but I will behave professionally and will tend to each player as a professional DM. Whether you are new to D&D, an old timer, or that forever DM that wants to try their funky character concepts, if you're looking for a campaign that brings your character to life, join me in this adventure.

How Frae runs games

My style depends on the players. I will always have a session 0, to build your characters and hash out details and to get to know my players to tune my DM-ing towards my players. I try my best to differentiate character voices and make everything come to life. I believe it is important for every player to feel good about their characters and to feel important in their role.

Frae's ideal table

Though players of any style would fit well under my table, those who care about personal and deep character progression throughout a campaign would feel the most value from my campaigns. Backstory creation with me can take up to 2 weeks as we flesh out details and hooks to integrate your character to the world. And you will immediately see how that plays out in the game.
