About me

Hey there, I'm Amy. I'm a history enthusiast, horror devotee, and bird lover. I've been playing Call of Cthulhu since the late 90's when my brother ran a game of The Haunting and scared the pants off me. I've been hooked ever since. When I'm not running horror TTRPGS, I'm a professional designer with a background in theatre and a flair for the dramatic. I bring my design and acting skills into my games by creating custom-made Roll20 modules and acting out a broad assortment of quirky 1920s NPCs. I run games for players of all experience levels, but I am especially good at working with new players in a friendly and non-judgemental enviroment. My ultimate goal is to provide players with an accessible and unforgettable experience of the Cthulhu Mythos.

GM Style

My GM style focuses on character interaction, storytelling, and atmosphere. My games include comedy but focus on creating a dark, horrifying, and immersive roleplaying experience for players. I try to personalize all my games and make each session a unique and tailored experience. I provide character voices, custom-made Roll20 modules, maps, handouts, visuals, character tokens, sound effects, music, and various witticisms. I stick to the offical 7th edition Call of Cthulhu rules as much as possible with occasional improvision.

Amy is an awesome GM. She made me feel completely comfortable during my first session. She was patient with questions and did a fantastic job explaining the rules. I highly recommend joining one of her games!

Great GM for the classic Cthulhu investigation game. Very organized and well-built scenarios with quality handouts; lending to easy-to-follow investigation games. This GM puts a lot of work into knowing each scenario inside and out and is able to run players through complicated investigations while adapting to their craziness.

Amy is just an all-around fantastic Keeper. She weaves a compelling narrative, vivid environments, and brings the NPCs to life. She encourages her investigators to roll play in a manner that is subtle and engaging. I hope to continue working with her for years to come!
