About me

Hi :) I've been GMing for about a year and I absolutely love it. I've been playing TTRPG's for almost 2 years. I started with DnD5e and have since branched out and have tried other TTRPG's. I'm silly, energetic, and I love teaching so it's okay if you aren't the most familiar with the system I'm running. I try my best to create a safe and fun environment for my players as well as myself :) I have a YouTube channel you can check out to get a better feel for my personality :) I do TTRPG's reviews and lots of solo playthroughs using my favorite systems.

GM Style

I love a good mixture of Combat, exploration, & role playing. I’ve got an animated personality so it naturally comes out in my games. I sometimes use voices :)

Absolutely love Coach Key's warm and friendly approach to Gming. She helped our party quickly feel like a team and was very patient with beginners. She has a great voice and interesting ways of narrating the story and bringing npcs to life. Popping back to add that we've just finished a short campaign with coach Key and will be back for more. She is so kind and funny.

Wow, this is my first time with Coach Key. We are all learning Dragonbane, so there was some questioning about how the rules work, but Coach Key made good on-the-spot calls and planned to clarify the tools later. We had a new player who role-played well in a new system, and the Coach made it a great experience for us all. Dragonbane is fast-paced, but the coach kept it grounded in the narrative.

Coach Keys was my first VTT GM. She made everything extremely easy and simple to understand. She has a wonderful story telling voice.

Really enjoyed Coach's style it took a session for things to take off, but the puzzles, encounters, and storytelling was excellent!

Coach Keys is really good with new players. She is very Patient and lets folks explore their character content. Doesn't mind a little table talk, and gently gets the game back on track. If your just starting out I'd have to give her two thumbs up.
