About Emily

My name is Emily and I've been playing tabletops for 15 years and a GM for 12 years. I love building off the unexpected moments players bring and enjoy the Rule of Cool. Having fun and telling engaging stories is my goal.

My favorite system of all Time is

Mothership!

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

"Concise, proactive, and seasoned"

How Emily runs games

I value committed role-playing and love to focus on character development and story telling. I'm not afraid to add puzzles and tactical combat in order to give my players variety.

Featured Prompts

I prep by

Creating multiple plot hooks tied into character backstories and motivations. I make a cast of multifaceted NPCs to complement the story being told and I make different adventure paths for the party to take with an error of margin proportional to the group's shenanigan level.

My games focus on...

A metaplot with branching smaller plots that tie your characters into the overarching theme of the game.

Rules are...

1. Respect one another 2. Don't metagame intentionally 3. PVP is frowned upon 4. Rule of Cool is in play 5. Have fun!

Emily's ideal table

My tables are perfect for the roleplay committed player to thrive in. I provide a wide range of opportunities for players to explore and influence the game world around them. You'll see the consequences of your actions - both good and bad.

Featured Prompts

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

intentional engaging puzzles that test your character and you

I love it when a player

commits to an in character decision that is objectively terrible with player knowledge.

I think it's a red flag when players...

don't respect one another. Speaking over other players routinely or trying to 'one up' each other is not the way to create a cooperative story telling experience.
