About Markella
I have been playing D&D since 2018. I got into it as a DM and eventually found a guild in my city where I could do that consistently with people interested to tell fun stories. From there I found my main playing groups where we have been blessed by the scheduling gods, and have been playing for the better part of 3 years in different campaigns. Most of us have tried our hand at DMing in that group and we love to learn from each other and see how we all fit together as both players and DMs. I mostly play D&D 5e 2014 but and slowly migrating to 2024. I love to explore other systems and modules/expansions and so far have played Drakar och Demoner and have read the rule-books for a few others. I usually gravitate towards more dark and horror themes or absolutely silly situations. I enjoy a mix good mix of RP, puzzles and battle and try to incorporate them as much as possible in my campaigns. I am always open to new ideas and like collaborating with players to tell a fun and/or interesting story we all enjoy. I am open to listening any homebrew ideas but might veto things that feel unbalanced or that will make me or other players uncomfortable. I am strict about enforcing the table's boundaries and will not hesitate to penalise problematic behavior.

How Markella runs games
I usually gravitate towards more dark and horror themes or absolutely silly situations. I enjoy a mix good mix of RP, puzzles and battle and try to incorporate them as much as possible in my campaigns. Depending on the duration of the game these might appear more or less often. For example in an one shot there will be a bit of everything in it while if we are playing a longer campaign things will be more spread out so to not overload each session. Battles usually have some kind of interesting battlefield mechanic that can be used either to the advantage or against players and will need to be handled creatively.

Guidelines to help us have fun but can be broken to make cool things happen!
When it comes to voices
I try to do them and then not forget what I did for each character :D

I think it's a red flag when players...
Don't have any hard/soft limits. We all have something that bothers us, if someone doesn't it means they either are not saying the whole story or will disregard other people's limits.
