About me
My name is Katabri. I have been playing TTRPGs since 1980. I did take a break to raise my kids, but kept up with material. When I came back to Dungeons and Dragons, it quickly became apparent that the easiest way to play in a game was to run it myself. So, I've been DMing for about 15 hours per week since January of 2023. I enjoy running DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e games and endeavor to bring a fun and immersive experience for all my players.
GM Style
As a DM, I love to facilitate roleplay between characters and NPCs. I enjoy creating stories with the players that intertwine backstories with the story of the campaign. I don't mind players wandering off the beaten path of published campaigns/adventure paths. I actually feel like it creates a better story!

Kat does a great job world-building and telling an involving story with many memorable characters. She is capable of making villains that you actually hate, both in character and out of character. She also has near infinite patience for people that are new to 5e or FoundryVVT. Can recommend for both new and experienced players.

Amazing fun to play with! Really knowledgeable and helpful, she brings the story and NPC's vividly to life and keeps a good pace going through the session. Player creativity is encouraged and she fosters a supportive group atmosphere. I've had a wonderful time and wholeheartedly recommend!

Katabri is a wonderful GM that creates a great space in and out of game. Her Discord server is a welcoming place to chat with her and other players outside of sessions. She uses a consent checklist that you don't have to share with other players to make sure everyone is comfortable, and understands that life things happen. In the Pathfinder game I played, she expertly used The Forge VTT with wonderful extensions to make the game smoother and more engaging. In combat, she knows how to tweak things on the fly to make it more enjoyable. She's also benevolent enough to not make my familiar take damage from an AoE which probably would have instantly killed it, which is nice. I highly recommend joining if you see a game you like!

As of this review my group with Kat is a couple of sessions away from ending Fall of Plaguestone, a PF2E adventure. Kat is amazing. She does well with helping with rules clarifications (this group being newer to PF2E), balancing giving us to have time to think, plan, and talk things through with keeping the story moving forward, and just making the whole experience fun for everyone. NPCs are brought to life with voices and mannerisms, combat has been engaging and hilarious, never being drawn out. Kat has been fantastic at keeping the mechanical side of things feeling fair and balanced, and the story side intriguing and fun.

She does a great job of getting things started and working with people's schedules. She is very personable and adapts well to changes, not locked into things going the way she envisioned.
