About Tann
Hello! My name is Tanner and I use they/them pronouns. I’ll be your Game Master ‘round these parts. I am an alphabet mafia member 🌈 and have a permanent AuDHD subscription. I do welcome folks from any background to play TTRPGs with me! I love to bake sourdough and play with my cats when I am not rewatching Bob's Burgers. My TTRPG experience comes from mostly being a player. I started playing D&D 5e in 2018. Since then, I’ve had the chance to play long-term campaigns, one shots, and a few some-shots. All of which were very different, homebrew worlds, and engaged with different themes. I look forward to running games and getting better as a game master ❤️ Though my experience with running games is limited, I am a very creative person and excel at improve and character development. I am confident in my ability to delivery an immersive experience for players at the table. I hope to focus on Daggerheart in the future, but am open to a lot of systems. I want to engage with rich stories and fun conflict. Though the role-playing aspect of the game is the most exciting to me, I am not afraid to make some attack rolls, buwahaha

I became a GM because
My regular Game Master wanted a break between campaigns. I ran a one shot with them, another with some other friends, and then again on a random post (so a few times) to see how I felt about it. Surprise, I liked it! I can't wait to run more games and explore fun stories with new tables.
My favorite shows/movies are
- Everything Everywhere All At Once - Steven Universe - Bob's Burgers - Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Ghost in the Shell - Doctor Who - What We Do In The Shadows
When I'm not running games I'm...
really really into cooking. As a foodie vegetarian, gotta find yummy recipes that excite (and sometimes challenge) me! I love to play TTRPGs too and video games. If I'm not doing any of that, you may find me hiking or reading with lofi in the background.
How Tann runs games
I prioritize player agency and see my role as a host to the world rather than its main character. At my table, you'll experience immersive, character-driven roleplay as the heart of the game, while still delivering nail-bitting combat when it fits the moment. While I personally enjoy the storytelling side more, I always make space for action, tension, and surprises. I love using structures like the 5-room dungeon to keep sessions punchy and engaging—but I’m never afraid to break the mold if the story calls for it. I full support the Rule of Cool because it is all about the story and players having fun at the end of the day ❤️
