About me
Hail and well met adventurers! I am Ellie! I have been running 5e for nearly a decade and it is truly one of the things I enjoy doing most in life! I have run games for people of all ages, levels of experience, and walks of life. Many adventures I have taken others on and many more I shall take them still! (Hopefully for the rest of my days!) I spend my non-GM days with my friends, my sweeties, my fur baby Elysium, at the pool, on a walk, reading, writing, and working IT. I dream of doing Game Mastering full time one day!
GM Style
The games I run provide players a chance to show who they are, how creative they can be, and how the choices they make can impact AN ENTIRE REALITY! Please show me what you can do and together we can weave a story you will remember fondly for all time! Much like the real world your choices will have consequences and death is a possibility! That being said we are here to have fun, laugh, roll math rocks, and journey into our imagination to see what worlds we might share! I hope to bring to you a safe space where you can feel your feels and face your fears. I wish to see how you creatively resolve conflicts that come upon you as you strive to achieve whatever goals your Player Character may have to fulfill on the quests they embark. I run a table that is a sanctuary for respect and inclusivity, honoring our many walks of life with care and kindness. As a trans non binary person myself let it be said all LGBTQIA+ players are so thoroughly welcome and appreciated! I would be willing to work together to craft the game you want to play in addition I can run one shots, multi session modules, or full on campaigns. It would be my joy to craft and deliver the adventure you desire!

I've played with Ellie my entire career in D&D; they are the one who got me into the game five years ago. Since the beginning, they have created a comfortable and inclusive setting in which to share the game we both love. As a GM, they provide memorable NPCs through unique voice work and consistent characterization. They also do a great job of making the fantasy world feel real, from anchoring each PC with ties to the world, to adding interactions that show more going on in the world than what the party is up to. They do a great job of balancing a serious tone with moments of hilarious levity. If you want a GM that builds a living world in which to explore, allows character actions to have lasting effects on that world, and encourages creativity in character choices, Ellie is the one for you. Cannot recommend highly enough, 12/10.
Ellie the Weird is truly a once in a life time game master. The characters, voices, stories, descriptions, ambience, and overall player experience, is truly a magical experience. Their knowledge of DnD and flexibility in running a campaign in person/virtual/etc, makes for an incredible adventure. As a first time DnD player, they patiently assisted in developing my first ever character and guided me into this whimsical world of DnD with care and wonder. I truly could not ask for a better DM and all who play one of their campaigns will see and feel the wonderfully amazing magical adventurer that is Ellie the Weird 🖤
Ellie is an incredible GM. They’ve run a multi-year campaign that I’m lucky to be a part of, and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to explore this game and myself through role play. Ellie creates a magical world where “yes, and” is the standard and the dice determine the story. I am constantly immersed by their knowledge of the lore and mechanics, but also by their ability to combine that with real-world applications to help create the scenes or effects seamlessly in my mind. Equally as strong as the world, Ellie creates characters that are fleshed out and multidimensional. Your roleplay opportunities with them are many and your decisions with them will impact their willingness to travel with you or assist you during your adventures, whether they be serious characters or goofy companions. Most importantly for me, however, is the safety I feel when I’m at the table. I’m not the most experienced role player, nor am I extroverted by any stretch, but those things do not matter when we gather to play our games. Voices, risk taking, creativity and zany ideas are welcome. Ellie creates a space where you can be who you want and explore in the way that is most comfortable for you and the group.
Having Ellie run a game for you is an immersive experience! You will be treated to mood music, detailed recaps, scene setting that is colorful and vivid and a cast of characters and voices that are unparalleled. Ellie has an incredible talent to take you away on a journey, and you will happily forget the real world and be carried along. I was a new player and found Ellie to be thoughtful, helpful and exciting. Ellie's love of the game shines through!
Ellie runs game that make me laugh the hardest I ever have as a player, while also constantly keeping my gears turning as a GM myself. They have a way of taking whatever ridiculous things we throw at them and incorporating them so smoothly into both the story of the game and the game mechanics that it feels like it was always part of the plan. I am particularly impressed with how their detailed knowledge of the game allows them to improvise with game mechanics so well without pausing for long periods of time to look up rules For example, at Ellie's suggestion, our Artificer was able to remodel their construct to make it more horse-like to replace the steed we had just had stolen from our wagon. This only took a few moments of game-play and was so perfect for our party/the tone of our campaign. I highly recommend playing with Ellie for either a campaign or a one-off!
