About Cieje

I have been running TTRPG games for over six years, mostly Dungeons & Dragons 5e - though I am eager to try out different systems! I love having a more narrative focused game sessions, but ultimately, I am just the narrator for what my players shenanigans. I try to balance rules as written/intended with rule of cool & narrative fun. I stopped running games for a while to focus on myself for a while, and I am eager to get back into running games again. Yes, I have shamelessly used a photo of one of my player's cat in front of me running a game.

I got started GMing...

By being suckered into it. Person: Hey, you have played D&D, right? And are looking for a new group? Me: Yes. Them: Great! So, you can DM for me, my boyfriend, and some of our friends! That began my DMing journey. I loved it, and I keep getting into it.

My favorite system of all Time is

So far, the Star Wars FFG/Edge system. It uses the Genesys system for its core, but with its own take on it to better fit the setting. It is all about generating successes after the dice pool result cancels itself out, rather than reaching or getting below a target number. That, and it is Star Wars

When I'm not running games I'm...

Working, earing, drinking coffee, sleeping, gaming, streaming, watching shows/movies/other people's TTRPG streams. You know, normal things for an introvert with no social life. 😆😅

How Cieje runs games

- I try to balance roleplay/narrative play with game mechanic opportunities - I do not do voices well ^^' - I personally enjoy crunchy tactical combat, but will readily toss that aside for my players that are averse to it - RPG Consent forms from Monte Cook Games will be utilized. - I am willing to learn & run a few game systems I have not tried before, provided my players are patient with me as I learn.

I deal with rules issues by...

Setting a timer to look it up in the moment. If I find the rule within that time, go with it; else, make an in-moment ruling, looking up the actual rule outside of the game, and make the rule known to the table, as well as how it affected the game previously & how it will going forward.

I once ran a session...

With less than ten minutes notice. I don't recommend it, but the players claimed to have fun so there is that. I have also ran an all-day game before. That is something I also don't necessarily recommend. 😆😅

When it comes to voices

I am not a voice actor. I have trouble with accents (especially if they use rolling R sounds). Please don't expect a Mel Blanc experience.

Cieje's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I think metagaming...

Is unavoidable as a whole, but can be worked through collaboratively.

I think min/maxing...

Is not for everyone, though it can be fun and has its own place. Personally, I love it. I view it as the idea that a PC has dedicated so much to be good at one thing that it gives the other PCs more places to shine.

My table is not the place for...

- Fascists - Racists - Homophobes - Zionists - Basically, if you don't have basic human decency and empathy, I don't want you at my table.
