I'm willing to have a very hands-on, or hands-off approach to my players as a GM, based on each players individual preference. I do my best to bring a bit of flavour to my NPCs by doing voices, and I encourage you to find a voice for your character as well! I will put forth both exploration and challenging combat, depending table preferences. It's important to me that my players mesh well and are respectful towards each other and the GM. I encourage people to keep an open mind and to treat others as they themselves wish to be treated. I have a session zero document that players must read, and agree with, before joining my long-term campaigns, which will help manage everyone's expectations. โญ If I had to personally rank the three pillars for myself, I would rank them in the following order: Social (roleplay), Exploration & Combat! ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ซ&๐ซ 5๐? No stress! I have over 13478 hours on Roll20, and counting, and run my own Discord server for my games too. I am willing to help anyone get started with D&D 5e, Roll20 & Discord, no matter how new or veteran you are. You're never too old, or too young to get into D&D! ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐? I run those too, for players that wish to have a whole session focused on them and their character, or that wish to experience a solo adventure of D&D, or that are just shy and want to try out D&D on their own with a helpful GM. ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ด? Inexperienced, or experienced groups, feel free to contact me to request that I GM for your table. Let me know which type of campaign adventure your group would like to play though, be it an official Wizard of the Coast, or a homebrew, it doesn't hurt to ask. For anything else, feel free to shoot me a message!

I have successfully mentored several GMs which are now running weekly successful campaigns of their own. โณ For TavernCon 2020, I was the General (admin) for the two Epics; DDEP09-03 Liars Night & DDEP07-02 Drums of the Dead. โ For TavernCon 2021, I was the General (admin) for the two Epics; DDEP00-01 The Red War & DDEP08-02 Stardock Under Siege. ๐งญ I have also done some paid GM gigs in my country for various tabletop clubs. ๐ Before the pandemic, I used to GM in real life in a West March style D&D 5e homebrew campaign at the local D&D tabletop club, in collaboration with a handful of GMs. Our rotating tables meant we had over 50 players rotating between GM tables every week. We had both new players, children, veterans players, teenagers and adults playing side by side in our homebrewed adventures. It's an offer that is still in extremely high demand every week, bringing our community together on a weekly basis since before I joined them in 2017. ๐ก๏ธ At the beginning of the pandemic I held two successful online courses for our local tabletop club so that both GMs and players could learn how to use both Discord and Roll20 successfully so that they could get online to play. It was a tremendous success! ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๏ธ I successfully wrapped up a weekly campaign that had lasted for 2 years and 9 months for a group of players in May 2022. โ I successfully wrapped up a bi-weekly "Ghost of Saltmarsh" homebrew campaign for a party of 5, that lasted 3 years & 4 months in April 2023! ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐งต In addition to work & studies... ๐ฅ I'm currently running a duo player campaign, a weekly "Rime of the Frostmaiden" homebrew campaign that has been going strong since November 2020! ๐Currently I'm running a monthly solo player campaign, a game based around a "Ghost of Saltmarsh" homebrew strategy war game, also since November 2020! โค๏ธI'm providing mentorship to new and seasoned GMs & players who'd like to get into Dungeons & Dragons! If you're interested in a solo campaign or a group campaign, I'm currently at full capacity. I'm keeping a wait list, and will start picking up new players in July 2025. Please reach out if you're interested in getting on the list for next summer, thanks :)

Started a solo campaign with Sifer a few weeks ago. And let me tell you...she is Thee Best DM for solo campaigns. Period! She can easily be considered as one of the top DMs on this site. Her knowledge of the game is out of this frickin world and she is extremely patient with new players! Sheโs a great storyteller and makes the situations you put yourself in play out as realistic as one can possibly make it. You can tell she throughly enjoys being a DM by her attitude! 100/10! Highly recommended!
I contacted Sifer after thoroughly reading her GM profile. I liked what I read and inquired about joining a campaign. Unfortunately her campaigns were full and are full at the time of this writing. I was bummed about that. After communicating more with her a few times I began to understand why her campaigns were full. The woman knows her stuff inside and out. She explained how she was a mentor for up and coming DM's. She also stated she mentored players as well. She presented a one on one mentor session I could join. I just finished the session today. I made a long list of questions and in the session she not only answered my question, she also provided me a PDF file with the answers. Sifer also helped me with my character voice and for the grand finale she took my character on a small adventure where I was able to put into practice several of the things we discussed. To make a long review longer I recommend Sifer. If you attempt to contact her be patient while waiting on her to reply :) Sifer is worth the wait!!
I am as new as they can be and was worried about jumping into a game with strangers as well as learning the basic rules of D&D and the use of online table tops. Sifer ran a small session for my brother and I where we were able to learn, at our pace, the basics and common knowledge needed to play a game. If you're a new player looking for help, Sifer was the first to reach out to help and was very positive the whole time.
Sifer is an incredibly talented and experienced DM, and in every single game of hers I've had the fortune to play in, it shows. She is very adept at crafting an living, breathing, world in which the players can interact while always ensuring the spotlight stays on the party. She can operate easily at a superficial level, but should the party ever desire to delve deeper into a particular plot line or NPC, there is always another layer to be discovered. She is able to keep things balanced, but at the same time is willing to work with her players to achieve their goals for their characters. Most commendably, player enjoyment is paramount. She consistently puts the time and effort in to deliver a quality experience, each and every session. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a DM.
Lorekeeper Sifer has been such a great aid in me becoming a better player / Dm, without her I would have never started my journey on this amazing path of being a professional Dm. Great aid, great advice, and an even greater sense of being helpful. 10/10 would recomend (+ she showed me that there is a review link, very handy, )
I've been playing with her for three years now and she is hands down the best DM I've had. She not only tells an incredible story that is interesting and engaging, but she also allows for the players to feel powerful without making things too easy. All in all I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a great game!
