About me
I'm Colette, a Dungeon Master and published author with a passion for interactive storytelling. For the past 15, I've been crafting immersive D&D 5e and TTRPG experiences that put players at the center of their own epic tales. My approach to DMing combines creative worldbuilding with a deep respect for player agency. I believe that tabletop RPGs shine brightest when everyone at the table contributes to the unfolding narrative. While I'm a laid back person most of the time, when I'm passionate about something, as with tabletop gaming, I can become quite fixated. Reliability is central to my professional ethos. In my years of DMing, I've maintained a consistent schedule with my groups, almost never missing a session and always providing advance notice when rare scheduling conflicts arise. When I'm not behind the DM screen, I'm often working on my creative projects. My experience as a published author informs my approach to campaign narratives, character development, and world lore. I'm part of LGBTQ+ community and committed to creating a welcoming table where all players can feel comfortable expressing themselves through their characters and storytelling contributions. Whether you're seeking heroic adventures, morally complex narratives, or something uniquely tailored to your group's interests, I'm excited to collaborate with you on creating memorable gaming experiences that will keep you coming back for more.

GM Style
I specialize in creating immersive worlds where player agency is my top priority - your choices matter and will shape how our story unfolds, even if it causes my plans or the module to go off the rails. I balance engaging combat encounters with meaningful roleplay opportunities, adapting my approach to match what excites your group most. Whether you're looking for epic heroics, morally complex narratives, or something in between, I'm here to facilitate the adventure you want to experience.

Colette runs a great game! She really knew how to roll our party's buffoonery into the story without losing the tension during encounters. It was tons of fun, really gave me a craving for turkey!

Such a great session, I had lots of fun! Good banter/dialogue between NPC’s and PC’s, as well as fulfilling encounters.

Colette was very patient with me as a newbie and let our party explore the world she created (despite the goofy antics we got up to) while still keeping us on track. I loved how she gave us the room to be silly and joke around with each other while still keeping up with the task at hand. Definitely recommend for new players and people looking for a chill vibe!
