About Mariel
Hi, everyone! I started DMing for D&D 5e back in 2019 with an international group comprised of players in both Japan and the USA! Since we weren't able to play traditionally, I quickly learned to navigate Roll20 and, later on, the basics of Foundry for our online games. I have been running one-shots and an on-going campaign in the Dragonlance (and occasionally Forgotten Realms) setting ever since! I enjoy a good story driven by the players' decisions and resulting consequences, which means no game will ever be the same for different groups! I also believe in the importance of a session zero before we begin playing together to ensure a good fit and investment for all. Looking forward to branching out and meeting new people! Play with you soon!

How Mariel runs games
While I generally prefer to run game RAW, I'm more than happy to make exceptions for a cool moment or if a game rule doesn't make sense. If time allows, I'll look up a rule, but I want to keep the action flowing as much as the next person and will make a ruling on the spot to keep things moving. As such, I'm big into improve and will gladly lean into role-playing NPCs and changing things up as the result of player decisions! Combat is great too, but please know what you're going to do on your turn!
