About Dice Whisperer (aka Laura)

šŸŽ² Hi! I’m Laura. I'm a lifelong storyteller and DM who loves bold narration, fun character voices, and a little theatrical flair with sound and lighting. I’ve been telling stories for over 30 years, and I run games that are designed to be engaging, welcoming, and memorable. I care about good pacing, shared spotlight, and making sure the table feels welcoming and easy to settle into. I’ve had the privilege of learning from and playing alongside some truly exceptional Dungeon Masters in the industry, including B. Dave Walters (Stranger Things) Jason Carl (LA by Night), Monte Cook (D&D 3.5), Beth the Bard (She Is the Ancient), Kelly Lynne D’Angelo (Rivals of Waterdeep), and others. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to learn from so many different styles, systems, and approaches to storytelling. I run both crunchy and story-forward games, depending on what you’re looking for. I’m also known for putting playful twists on familiar worlds—think the Golden Girls in Barovia, a toy on a heroic quest, or other ā€œwait, that actually works?ā€ adventures. The goal is simple: great stories, real laughs, and sessions people can’t stop talking about. My tables are šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøšŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ inclusive and if you're new to RPGs, fear not! I absolutely love welcoming new people into our hobby. I am a lifelong educator, facilitator, and certified play practitioner. I love bringing games to team building events and companies too!

Story driven games, that are usually 70% exploration/social and 30% combat

I think min/maxing...

My perfect party mix is

anything with a bard 🤣. That's my favorite class, so I'm biased!
