About DMinYellow
I have been Gamemastering tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) for 24 years. This is not my hobby: This is my passion. I spend more time on content creation and honing my craft than on any other single thing in my life. I also have a background in theater and I worked as a mentalist (basically, a "mind reading magician") throughout college and grad school. I love performing and consider GMing to be a performance art. Each session is a show for you, about you, and starring you as players. My job is to keep you entertained and engaged.

How DMinYellow runs games
I LOVE roleplaying games and believe that a story comes to life through the alchemy of GM storytelling and player choice. I foster that alchemy by: - crafting plots with themes that take into account Player Character goals - rewarding players who make interesting choices that are true to the characters they're playing - creating Non-Player Characters with realistic personalities and motivations The result is a roleplaying experience that feels like it's about your character and an emotionally rewarding story where your player actions matter. I excel at creating the sense of the macabre that is required for gripping supernatural horror games as well as maintaining the suspense and intrigue necessary for mysteries. These are elements of most of my games. As my player reviews can attest to, my strengths are: - making sure all players feel like they belong - providing accommodations as needed by players - encouraging creative player choices - creating immersive stories - developing lore-rich worlds for those stories and characters to inhabit - Including diverse NPCs of various skin tones, gender and sexual identities, disabilities, and neurodivergence I also make props, do voices, and use custom-curated soundscapes for full immersion!
