About me
Hello everyone! I'm Diana, player and GM with over ten years of experience š². I love all kinds of games and stories, but I live for the interception of the two that are role-playing games. I've introduced dozens of people to the hobby, and I always make a point to keep my games inclusive and welcoming. I take care of my players, even if that means talking to and (if everything else fails) kicking out problematic players. When I'm not DMing, I'm a professional writer and freelance journalist. I'd say I know my way around words! Every game I host is: š³ļøāš A safe, welcoming environment for anyone! āļø An easy way to get into the hobby! āļø A well-oiled, stress-free machine for cooperative storytelling! š A diligently organized project, bringing every adventure to a satisfying end! I usually run narrative-focused systems like Brindlewood Bay, Blades in the Dark, and anything Powered by the Apocalypse. That said, I have plenty of experience with Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Pathfinder 1e, running both premade modules and original campaigns. Thank you for reading all this! Have a nice day!
GM Style
I love helping players explore the characters they have created and bring them on adventures in a collaborative environment. I keep things moving: I allow quiet time and intimate moments between characters, but I try to avoid any uncomfortably slow scenes. In my campaigns, everything important involves either a cost or a risk. Every roll and every decision has to lead to an exciting outcome, for good or bad. I don't always do voices, but when I do, I like to make it fun! I also don't force players to roleplay in ways they find uncomfortable. If someone prefers to describe their character's actions in the third person, I'm all for it.

Diana is an excellent GM. I was in a game of her where most of us were newbies, but she did an excellent job teaching us the system; she was patient, she didn't dump all the info to us at once, and encourages us to be creative. If the time allowed it, I'd absolutely play at her table again.

Diana is a great master. She manages to keep the story moving and inspire creativity in both beginners and expert players. She's engaging, understanding and supportive - as a trans person with ADHD, it is rare to find a GM who can create such cozy and inclusive spaces, yet funny and perfectly working, in their sessions. If you have the chance to play with Diana mastering, don't miss it!
