About Kayleigh

Hi! My name is Kayleigh. I am a songwriter, and currently perform as the lead singer of a pop punk band. I also love to crochet and cook! I especially have an immense fondness for collaborative storytelling. I started with Dungeons and Dragons in high school, and quickly realized how many amazing tabletop roleplaying games are out there that don’t get nearly enough love! My mission is to introduce people to TTRPGs that get a little bit less publicity in order to find the perfect system to tell the story they want to tell. As a GM, I have run games such as Monster of the Week, Death Enters the Saloon, Royal Blood, Alice is Missing, and This Discord Has Ghosts In It. I love finding systems that work outside of our expectations of what a TTRPG is, or should be, and what it can, or should do.

People are always surprised when I tell them

I used to be an aerial artist! I absolutely loved aerial silks, and have been looking to get back into it!

When I'm not running games I'm...

Crocheting, embroidering, writing songs, rehearsing with my band, or playing board games with friends!

How Kayleigh runs games

I am a very roleplay heavy GM! Not only do I prefer game systems that lean more toward storytelling in general, I also prefer systems that allow me as a GM to use my discretion to grant favor to players who roleplay their characters well. I also prefer to have a bit of wiggle room when it comes to specific mechanics of the game to allow for a fulfilling story to be told. Because of these tendencies, I also prefer to check in with players before and during the session to get a feel for what story they would like to tell, and make sure that I am giving them the tools and space to tell that story.

My games focus on...

telling the story the players want to tell! Collaborative storytelling is at the heart of everything I do, and I am always here for interesting ideas about your characters and the world they live in.

Rules are...

a framework meant to give us an idea of how the game works - but not the end all be all! Sometimes, a great storytelling moment simply doesn’t fit into the rules - but rules were made to broken!

Kayleigh's ideal table

My ideal table is a group of people who are committed to working together to tell a satisfying story! I am not typically a very rules or combat heavy GM, so bonus points if you’re comfortable bending the rules at appropriate times to allow us to tell your story!

I am for a vibe that's...

laid back, while still focusing on how to work together to tell your story!

I love it when a player

has an amazing (but risky) idea for their character! I am always open to compromises to make sure these gambits can work out!
