About me

Hello, all! I'm Dora, your humble Dragon Mother. I've been playing TTRPGs for 6 years, DMing for 4, and been obsessed with all things fantasy for over 30. My D&D gateway drug was Critical Role, and I've been voraciously consuming actual plays, podcasts, and sourcebooks ever since. I've even played in/DMed a few things you can find online and completed a DMing Academy run by Amy Vorpah! :) To me, tabletop gaming is all about creating community through silliness, creativity, and stories, and that was what drove me to DMing. I love having the opportunity to foster supportive, collaborative spaces for people, and I think the more of these spaces we have, the better the world will be. To that end, cultivating and maintaining an atmosphere of "Yes, and", support, and mutual respect is hugely important to me. The most beautiful and magical moments of TTRPGs can only happen when everyone feels comfortable and safe at the table <3

GM Style

Crunchies, beware! Story is the priority at my table. Role-play and improv are what sparked my love of TTRPGs, so I'm here to cultivate those juicy character moments. Rules are helpful tools, but being wacky and taking big swings leads to much more interesting and satisfying narratives! I believe the best games have a good balance of RP and combat (about 2:1), with a dash of puzzle-solving and a healthy dose of shenanigans. There is space both for jokes and mischief, but also for stakes and serious moments. What the best games don't include is real-world discrimination, and I have a zero-tolerance policy for transphobia, racism, xenophobia, or anything of the kind :)
