About Contessa

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by the region's natural beauty, which has greatly influenced my love for atmospheric storytelling. I attended Digipen Institute of Technology, where I honed my skills and passion for game design. I'm a fan of horror and sci-fi, genres that inspire much of my creative work. When I'm not immersed in tabletop RPGs, I enjoy board game nights with friends and catching live concerts, where I can appreciate the energy and creativity of live performances. You can reach out to schedule me directly for a private game either online or in person in the Seattle area. I am available to run any system listed on my profile.

How Contessa runs games

My GM style centers on immersive role play and intricate political intrigue, where players are encouraged to deeply engage with their characters and the story. I love weaving complex narratives that challenge players with moral dilemmas and strategic decisions. While role play and story are at the forefront, I also incorporate a splash of tactical combat, ensuring that every encounter is meaningful and adds to the overall tension and drama of the campaign.
