About me
I began playing Tabletop RPGs in the late 80s when my uncle gave me my first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (2E) Books, Campaign & dice set for Christmas. We grabbed some paper and a pencil rolled up my characters and never looked back. 5 years later I was running my first Dungeons and Dragons Games with friends and have been DMing ever since. I have run multiple systems (2e, 3.5 & 5; Old World of Darkness, Star Wars D20, Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy and have access to others that I have bought as they looked like a fun investment of time). In terms of games I have run premade modules as well as hombrewed my own. I am currently building my own world and have 2 different groups running in that. I enjoy running worlds that span from fantasy-horror, low-high tech but I find my favorites are the ones that fall in the middle where anything is possible. I also favor High-Role Play where the Rule of Cool tends to allow for some interesting events to happen and that are inclusive for all players.
GM Style
I love high roleplay games where I can incorporate character backgrounds into the overall Story & help build the world that they are set in. I always try to take the approach of 'how can we work this in' as opposed to saying no outright as I believe in the end the game is meant to be fun and I find that having my players invested and playing what they want to allows for more immersion in the game. I try to provide a good mix of Role Play and Combat, and multiple options to get through any situation where all actions will have a consequence (good or bad depending on what happens). I also try to bring my NPCs to life, giving them personalities and a voice of their own to the best of my abilities.

Cat was a incredibly detailed DM with a tough but fair style and allowed room for roleplay, I hope to do another session later on.

I’ve played a couple sessions with DM Cat now and both have been very enjoyable! Very creative role playing and very knowledgeable of the rules. I’m looking forward to future sessions!

Cat's storytelling and voice acting really bring the game to life. Paired with that this a homebrew campaign shows that Cat is a talented DM. She catered the first session as an introductory session to allow me to get used to DnD as I'm a complete beginner. Throughout the game Cat pre-emptively explained game/class mechanics to make sure I understood the entire context as well as provided a space to ask any questions (she even has office hours where anyone can come ask anything). The players in our session are also incredibly helpful and understanding which is a reflection of Cat's kind nature.

Allowed the players free roam of the world. Sandbox type game play. This DM let the characters tell the story. Lots of fun!
