About me
Welcome, adventurer! So you want to learn a bit more about me? Well, let's see... Online, I usually go by Witch - bit of a personal thing. I'm told the French accent is still thick enough that it comes through clearly. I'm taking my players' word for it. I was playing AD&D before Wizards ever thought of creating the Third Edition. There, that should give everyone an idea of both how long I've been into roleplaying games and how old I am! Game mastering came a bit later though - back in rural France and before the age of the Internet, it was quite hard to find people to play with and learn game mastering from, funnily enough. As a player, I've got some experience with GURPS, D20 Modern, and Vampire. But as a game master, I've chosen to focus on D&D. I enjoy creating situations for my players and their characters' personalities to shine through. I mainly bring people to my world though I've been known to run mini-campaigns on the Sword Coast or Eberron. On the tech side, I run my online games using Foundry VTT and theatre of the mind. And I make sure those not familiar with Foundry have my help as and when needed. Currently running three ongoing campaigns, including a West Marshes style one called Adventurers Inc. Oh, you've seen one of Myriani's ads? Well, come this way. I'm sure we can find her or Foster so they can give you a quick tour...
GM Style
I do favour roleplay over rollplay. I sometimes use the rule of cool and inspiration to rewards those players. But I try to welcome every type of players at my tables. I try to strike a good balance between social and combat encounters, with a bit of exploration and puzzle solving thrown in for diversity.

Playing with Witch is always a highlight of my week, she has created an amazing world for our characters to be a part of and make their own.

Playing at Witch's table is a pleasure. This DM does a great job of incorporating each PC into the game's actions and choices. Great fun is had with her ease of smoothing over any sensitivity that may arise. For the experience of being your PC in Witch's game - there is always tension just beyond what you are presently engaged in, its the mark of an excellent writer. NPC's adjust on the fly to carry on the excellent story regardless of what decisions you come up with yourself - it's a fluid world that you play in which, is also has great depth. This table full of adults has just been bent over in laughter many times from both our characters antics and NPC antics. Great fun!

Each session thus far was fun and filled with laughter. Witch knows how to create room for players to be creative. I've especially enjoyed the home brew world she created and how seamlessly she was able to interweave my characters backstory into that world. Dear reader I can highly recommend Witch as a DM and encourage you to join anyone of the games she is offering.

GM has a great sense of humour. Plays by rule of cool. Took on a complete beginner and was so so patient. Her VTT setup is awesome, and the NPC’s she creates are super fun, with a lot of character and voices too. She knows the rules but will allow some things if they make sense/are amusing. The stories built are so immersive and fun. Highly recommend this GM.

I have only played a few sessions with Witch, but they have all had that most important factor, fun! Her style is relaxed but challenging ( how many first level characters would meet an Ettercap?) Game knowledge second to none and really helps players develop their characters. Looking forward to the next session!

Witch makes it fun, she has helped me enjoy several adventures from an absolute beginner to offering advice and support for my first DMing experience. I could only select 3 boxes but she is also absolutely brilliant for beginners, she sets the mood and is a great world builder. So much so I wanted to write my own adventure based on one of her stories. You will not regret giving Chimera Worlds a try. I know I haven't nor any of the many many players in her discord. Go Ahead now and treat yourself to the Chimera Worlds experience.
