About Clara
I'm an 18 year old trans girl with tons of experience with D&D5e and Call of Cthulhu. I am a world-builder and I am looking forward to making diverse worlds and custom stories for adventurers to explore! I want to make a dense living world for you, and I love to explore alternate genres and themes aside from the regular Dungeons and Dragons settings! I have about 5 years of D&D experience and have been loving TTRPGs since I was young. I'm new to this site, so let me know if there's anything I can do to improve!

I became a GM because
At first I became a GM because nobody would play the games I wanted with me, but then I realized that I have a lot of fun running games! I love being able to write worlds and think through big ideas, and I love when players come in and completely flip the scrip! I love interactive stories!
When I'm not running games I'm...
Drawing, playing games, or reading/writing! TTRPGs are in everything I do, and I love showing the games in more ways than just the playable game! Stories live through us, and I love to show my stories through everything I do!
How Clara runs games
I have a more roleplay focused approach to TTRPGs, I want to write a story with all the players and guide you all through fun and interesting worlds! I will write lots of lore and homebrew stuff for your campaign, and I'll draw some art for it too (though my art skills are varied) My greatest strength is my ability to create unique worlds and plots quickly! You can expect something custom for your group and your characters! I'm pretty quick with improv and I'm very descriptive with scenes, able to paint pictures with words easily! My knowledge of some systems is greater than others, but I'm learning more and more every day to become the best dungeon master I can be, for myself and your party! Because of my roots in Call of Cthulhu, I tend to be a fan of difficult combat and high-stakes adventures, where actions can't be taken back and they won't be forgotten. The world you'll be playing in will be alive and strong, but so will you! I trust that you'll win against all odds! I prefer to host for groups of four or less, as I find it can be a little difficult to keep up with five or more players! My sessions range from 1-4 hours, though I prefer two or three hours generally. I do Play-by-Post as my main form of roleplay and I am able to give quick and consistent replies almost all the time! I am free almost every day and I can schedule for any time, just reach out!

I prep by
Listening to music to get me into the mood of the session, reading things that inspire me to think of the session, and reading over my plans! I'll draw maps of areas and sometimes sketches of NPCs and characters that will appear, just so I have a good mental image of everything. I'm very visual.
Rules are...
guidelines for fun, not just rules! Sometimes, rules should be changed, bent, or broken for fun, but I generally think that they're pretty important! I'll follow the rules but if a rule actively takes away from the fun of the game, then what's the point of it?
When it comes to voices
I suck at them, but I always try! I tend to the same few voices, but I think anything I can try to do that makes the world more alive is worth doing!
Clara's ideal table
I want to play with people who want to contribute to the story. People who aren't scared to make stuff up and get into the depths of the world! We're all here together to have fun, and that's what I prioritize in a player, is someone who will contribute to their own fun and the fun of the group. I work well with players who want to contribute to the story as much as I do, players who will engage in what the world has to offer and what the other players are doing!

I love it when a player
Completely flips the script! I love it when players do things I don't expect and force me to adapt. I want to write the story with you, not just for you! I love when players mesh their own story with mine, it feels so great to see everyone so engaged and to know we made this together!
I think metagaming...
Generally isn't fun- BUT, I think metagaming used to steer the story in a more interesting direction can be used with care. If we all know as players that going behind that door will result in a TPK, of course we're gonna metagame, we wanna live! But generally, I think it's not fun to break a story.
I think min/maxing...
Generally doesn't belong at my table. Play how you want, I won't stop you, but I value a story more than a game, and I think min/maxing just isn't a fun way to tell a story. That said, it's my role as a DM to adapt to how you play!
