About Jaiden

I'm a D&D Dungeon Mistress of nearly 10 years, playing since early high school. I fell in love with RPGs because I absolutely love roleplaying as a way to get into the minds and emotions of others. I get so much joy out of creating dramatic situations and difficult choices for my players. Because of this, I've been leaning further into the horror genre more lately. If that's something you're into, then I'm your girl! 😉 My biggest DM inspirations are Matt Colville and Monty Martin. Matt Colville taught me most of what I know with his Running The Game series, including the essence of great roleplay and seeing drama as the core of the game. Monty Martin and his Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign are both so amazing, with grotesque horror balanced perfectly against lighthearted humor

I got started GMing...

In Sophomore year of High School, mostly making up the rules for a few friends. It was terrible and fun at the same time.

My favorite books are

The Dresden Files series, the Stormlight Archive series, and the Mistborn series. I love interesting magic systems and complex character relationships.

How Jaiden runs games

I love every aspect of the game and try to give each section its own spotlight. I favor deep roleplay with unique character voices and art. I like to make NPCs feel like real people and not just story props. I get very excited by complex combat with interesting monsters, terrain, and goals. I like to push characters to their very limits in fights, very occasionally resulting in character death. However, I almost always talk about potential deaths I can see potentially coming with the player. Exploration is an often-neglected aspect of games, so I do my best to fill it with interesting locations and choices. I often use a cinematic style to describe scenes, as if we were watching a movie screen. I try to focus on all five senses for full immersion.
