About Brenna

Welcome to the hallowed halls of wholesome adventure, Travelers! My name is Brenna! I'm the founder and Forever GM of Tales from the Catacombs, the exciting TTRPG experience that I am blessed to share with you! All heroes who fight for hope are welcome at these tables. I'm always learning some new system, but my main systems are Dungeons & Dragons and Savage Worlds. I run one shots and short campaigns to ensure more players get an opportunity to experience the joy of TTRPGs! If you love impactful stories, brightening the TTRPG community, and definitely a heaping dollop of shenanigans, you've found your next Game Master!

I became a GM because

A lot of my friends had games they wanted to play, but no GM to play with. I'm an author at heart, so I took up the mantle and quickly learned I loved being a GM more than I loved being a player! If I can help more players find a table and love this hobby, then I've done what I set out to do.

How Brenna runs games

Prepare all of those fun, quirky character concepts you haven't had a chance to bring to the table yet. My tables flourish with strong RP moments where every player who wants one gets a moment of spotlight. If you're a quieter player, no worries! No one is forced into heavy RP that doesn't want it. We go lighter on combat tactics and lean into cinematic though still deadly fun. I can't promise you war games, but I can promise dramatic enemies that will stop at nothing to test your limits. All in the name of fun!

Rules are...

the baseline! Without them, you're giving an anecdote, not playing a game. I always start with Rules as Written, and the longer we play and the more familiar we get with the system, the more opportunity everyone has for the ultimate rule: The Rule of Cool.

Brenna's ideal table

If you're a team player—and that includes the GM—you're a perfect fit at this table. If you want to tell a hopeful and heroic story, this is the place to be. Hope isn't all light and fluffy, and joy can be found in the darkest corners. If you keep this in mind, I have space for you here. If you can embrace an imperfect GM who learns something new about her craft every day, welcome on in! And if you didn't perfectly optimize your character, that's ok! Neither did I! Let's tell those stories together!

My perfect party mix is

whatever characters excite the players. I can balance a game or let the party enjoy the consequences of not having a healer. What's most important is that the characters are enjoyable for the players, and the players are genial with each other.
