About me
Hi! I'm Cath. Long time player, first time GM. What I lack in experience, I make up for with a long history as a writer, actor, and yapper. My philosophy in the games I plan to run is to provide a rich world that will be the playground for the players to create the stories that they wish to, with character that matter to them. Open communication between GM and player is super important to me and that everyone in the table is comfortable and happy.
GM Style
I believe that TTRPGs are a unique form of storytelling. Each player's character has a piece of the player that is important to them, whether they be a 1:1 self-insert or a way for someone to explore ideas they wouldn't be able to otherwise. I want to honor this as a GM by providing a world with a rich and beautiful enough backbone to hold all the stories these characters and players will tell. Combat-focused games where you jump from one enemy to the next are not my personal favorite but rather to have various encounters and interactions that enrich the plot. The world does not stop moving. As my real life is full of diverse individuals, so is my table. There is a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry and hate. My communication lines are open to my players as needed so if anyone has issues, please reach out to me and we will find a solution as adults.

Cath is a gamemaster with a keen undwerstanding of pacing and momentum. Every scene is dripping with atmosphere whether it's from the position your characters find themselves in, or the keen attention to detail and atmospheric choices that are made, you will absolutely be immersed in the genre and the fiction. The hours of the session will melt away and you will find yourselves pining for the next session.

I enjoyed Cath's storytelling. She is fun, intelligent, charismatic, a good worldbuilder, good with her pacing. She has the unique ability to know when to let the characters riff vs when it's time to get the cat herd moving. She struggled with managing table dynamics and safety tools.

Very new to ttrpg. Had a great time, GM was very well prepared. Had hoped the pase of the game would be quicker, but that wasn't a big deal. I liked the music but it was a little loud in the mix of voices.
