About me

I've been running games, mostly in Play-by-Post format, for a few years now, and have enjoyed it so much that I'd like to try doing it on the side professionally! I've been a creative writer all my life and have written several novels and many stories. I love storytelling, creativity, history, philosophy, and weaving stories together around characters and watching them grow and discover who they are in response to obstacles and challenges. Fiction and fantasy is a powerful allegory for the struggles we all face daily in our lives as human beings, and the journey is what gets us there!

GM Style

Roleplaying and creative storytelling is my favorite part of D&D and similar games. Telling amazing stories is what I love to facilitate! Of course, high stakes, moral quandaries, consequences for actions in the world, interesting combats, gritty survival, and mechanical obstacles that need to be overcome are what drives the storytelling! I've mostly played and run D&D 5e, including some Lord of the Rings RP. I have dabbled with some OSR, and really enjoy rules variants and homebrew customized to my players.

She is a great GM! Very accomodating to her players & will help you come up w/ your perfect character you want to play. She is an incredible descriptive storyteller which is a paramount skill needed to run "Play by Post" style games. She does like to use many of the grittier alternate rules for a slightly more challenging game, but she is fair & doesn't try to purposely kill you. BUT, her encounters are tough so you need to think outside the box & come up w/ creative solutions to succeed! All of us current players in other games she runs have no problems visuzaling where we are in roleplay or combat scenarios. She uses D&D Beyond Map screenshots for combat to show where everything is prior to starting combat & updating the map as the encounter goes on. So for those who need visuals every once in awhile, this a great thing she does to pair w/ theatre of the mind. Questions, concerns, comments, constructive feedback, she is open to all of it. If you've ever wanted to try a Play by Post game, Constance will be an amazing DM for you!

I've been playing in one of Constance's campaigns for about three months - and I've loved every minute! Constance is great at setting the scene, giving vivid descriptions and then changing up the text and tone for her NPCs - all while driving the story forward with colour and depth. In our game, Constance encourages discussion on how to interrupt the rules when there is doubt or confusion. She's very easy to communicate with and really open to feedback and ideas. If someone's misunderstood what a PC has said or done - no problem. Above all, Constance genuinely embraces player preferences and creativity. She's there to help where a player might be less confident with the game making her a great DM for beginners too. Playing in one of Constance's campaigns has been a super positive gaming experience.
