About me

I've been playing D&D for a few years, but always had an interest in games that were of a similar nature, where you could create a character and then exercise great control over how things progress based on choices. I first tried my hand at DMing in early 2022, due to a combination of struggling to find an available DM, and because it had been something of interest to me. I started out with ready-to-play small campaigns, but am currently in the process of designing my own campaign. As a DM, I try and keep a lot of balance. I tend to try and keep to the general gist of the rules rather than the exact letter, especially when it may provide more flexibility or a more natural progression to let a few technicalities slide. It's not a free-for-all, but I'm definitely in favour of a few well considered house rules or tweaks to make everyones life a little easier and make some aspects more enjoyable. One thing I also try and achieve is to give players multiple ways to achieve things. Whether it is negotiating with dragons rather than fighting, or brute forcing rather than solving a puzzle, I let the players guide the path, albeit with maybe a few extra obstacles.

GM Style

Flexibility - I enjoy giving multiple paths to the same end goal, so that players can come up with their own way to achieve it.

Is very kind. Herr confidence inspires me to be more confident in myself as a DM. I appreciate her honesty and flexibility within the rules. She is a thoughtful planner, and is good at being proactive about possibly difficult rules calls. Her routines are Inspiring to me and helped keep the table moving and on track.

Jamie is a friendly DM who is willing to work patiently with new players until they get the hang of roll20 and DND beyond mechanics. Fun musical effects in support of the adventure, dynamic lighting, and good game flow. She's very positive and upbeat. You will enjoy playing in her games in this very unique and entertaining gaming world and system.
