About me

Hello Adventurer! I am DM Beth and welcome to my game! I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over a decade and have been DMing for 5 of those years. I experience running games for both children and adults. I also enjoy dabbling in other TTRPGs such as Cyberpunk Red and Pathfinder. My DM style is very easy going and I firmly believe in going with the flow. My job is not to be a rigid enforcer but to ensure that that my players get the most enjoyment out of the campaign without letting the game stall.

GM Style

I run my games in a relaxed setting that allows players to try out anything from well-thought-out plans to the ridiculous, just barely within the laws of physics ideas without letting the game be stalled. I believe in quick combat and engaging interactions. Whether you enjoy a combat-heavy campaign full of monsters and loot or a more relaxed Role Play heavy session with friends and foes, I will tailor a campaign that will make any player happy.

I’ve had the great pleasure of playing different campaigns with Beth as my DM/GM and have really enjoyed every session in each! As others have shared, Beth is very inviting and open to creative concepts and ludicrous game-bending (but not breaking) shenanigans. She’s a skillful storyteller that does an amazing job of bringing the words/planes her NPCs and our characters inhabit to life. Her knowledge of the game comes through seamlessly, which allows for spontaneous improvisation on her and players’ parts, resulting in epically memorable moments for all! I agree with others assessment that Beth skews towards player elasticity, empathy, and enjoyment over rigid adherence to RAW in every situation. If you can make a logical case for attempting something, she’ll hear you out (and if/when reasonable, will let you make the attempt) and she has a healthy respect for the rules without being ruled by them. The effort she puts into prep for each campaign and session is apparent as is her passion for the game and her devotion to others having great fun playing it! Her friendly yet professional nature makes you feel welcome and puts you at ease and she can help different players in a campaign take space and make space as needed so playtime is well distributed. I really can’t sing her praises enough and you’ll be in exceptionally good hands with her as your GM/DM!

One of the most fun and creative D&D sessions I ever had was playing with this GM. She always errs on the side of player comfort, fun, and flexibility rather than being a stuffy rules lawyer, but is also very knowledgeable of the rules and has a great sense of when they are and aren't necessary. She's also an absolute blast with a clear passion for the game and the people she plays it with.

Beth is very welcoming and fun to play with. The games she runs felt lived in and unique. I have played as one of her players in at least two campaigns, several multishot games, and several one shots. I also had the honor of having her as a player of mine and once assisted her in helping children at the local library make character sheets for a future game that Beth was running. She makes any table she is at feel safe and comforting. She can improvise and adapt to our insane antics. The items that are she creates are both fun and memorable. As an example, she created this large portrait painting that would teleport a person to a specific part of the forest near this one manner. We took it and turned it into a home alone style trap that sent enemies to that forest. That forest was a several months journey by foot in game. She let’s players be creative and that is a great experience to have.

Beth is a wonderful GM. I have played through three different campaigns with her running the show, and have had a blast every session. Beth has been very inviting and open to a lot of ridiculous concepts that I have cooked up. She is a fantastic writer and tells a fine story.

Elizabeth is an amazing DM. She's very knowledgeable about the game and gameplay but also very flexible when "unusual" situations come up. Her sessions run smoothly and she's really good at rolling with the sometimes odd punches that players can throw at a DM.
