About Calliope

Hello! I am Calliope, but you can just call me Cal or Cali or whatever you want really. I have been a GM for just over 5 years now, and fell in love with it the moment I began GMing, enjoying the art of crafting worlds, stories and encounters that players will love. As the one to drag all my friends into this hobby, I have lots of experience helping new players learn the rules and always enjoy introducing and helping new players learn this amazing hobby. Recently having earned myself a degree in Game Design has allowed to put my academic experiences towards crafting even better games for my players. Although I am not a perfect being and will always be open to feedback from my player to make the games even better for them. My goal as a GM is to build inclusive, enjoyable community for all my players.

I became a GM because

I was extremely interested in playing a tabletop RPGs, so I had to GM to get a game going and get my friends to play.

My favorite shows/movies are

The Magnus Archives (Technically an audio drama but I love it so so much), Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gravity Falls, & The Princess Bride

How Calliope runs games

I play very fast and loose with the rules of the game, finding homebrewing to be half the fun of these games. This style allows me to adapt to what the group finds enjoyable and wants to see more of while creating things that allow their characters shine. Whether that be tactical combat, deep roleplay or challenging puzzles, I aim to make sure every player has something to look forward to each game.

I prep by

Figuring out where I want the sessions to go, then making myself my own campaign books in Obsidian, while it may be a lot of work it pays off as it allows for me to be prepared for anything that could occur.
