About Devon Jade 😁
Hi! I'm Dee :) I'm a writer, storyteller, and improviser. I started GMing to entertain my sisters in 2020, fell in love with it, and never stopped. I love creating characters, I love putting them through hardships, I love watching them change. I love how different dice-systems support different genres of stories, and how good rules will lead you straight to the coolest story moments you can imagine. I love telling a fun story TOGETHER. I am not a prepper. I am not a number-cruncher, I am not a map-maker, I am not a stat-blocker. If anything, I'm a question-asker. I ask you questions I'm curious about, you answer them, I say "yes, and..." and we go from there. I operate pretty much entirely in the Theater of the Mind, except for music. I gotta have my tunes. I have been blessed in the past with players who make art from our games, or fully write out in-character letters, or use props and costumes on their end of the screen. Those things mean the world to me! I know my strengths, and I know where they end. Whatever you'd like to contribute, I will say "Yes, and". I DO NOT USE ANY AI IN MY GAME EXPERIENCES. Not even a little, not at any stage in the process, never ever. I value, over pretty much anything else, our ability to create art with each other. I do not allow any AI usage from players in my games either. WE ARE ENOUGH.

People are always surprised when I tell them
how much I improvise in my games, because the stories always end up feeling planned from the start.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Clever, forgiving, and honest.
When I'm not running games I'm...
thinking about games. In any given moment, you'll probably find me making game playlists, tweaking custom mechanics, or just talking to someone about ttrpgs.
How Devon Jade 😁 runs games
Expect rich role-playing and tough decisions. Expect killer music and a cinematic feel. Expect homebrew mechanics or tweaked rules in the moment to better support the story you're telling. Expect a BIG fan of your character and their story, cuz that's me.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
me! I'm coming for you, Hollywood
I prep by
listening to music and imagining all the different scenarios characters could be in, so when the time comes, I have options.
Rules are...
opportunities to make a story interesting. There is no conflict without limitations. Rules should serve the fun, and if they don't, they need to change.
Devon Jade 😁's ideal table
I have a motto: THE BEST IDEAS ALWAYS COME FROM COLLABORATION. No matter what cool idea someone may have on their own, once someone else gets to engage with it, it WILL become better. When you're at my table, you're supportive, present, and eager to PLAY.
Featured Prompts
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Prestige TV dramas, like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, or The Vampire Diaries.
I love it when a player
wields the rules like a weapon. I often refer to the Airbud Clause: if there's no rule saying it's NOT allowed, it's allowed. I see rules as diving boards for players; If you're gonna jump off of them, make it awesome. Make me regret what I said "yes" to, I dare you.
