About DM Natalie

Hi! I'm Natalie. I'm a big ol silly goose who loves to play DnD and DM for other silly gooses! I love to let people drive the story as much as I do and facilitate a safe space in which to have fun. Been a nerd forever, will be a nerd forever. I also happen to be a queer trans human and hope to make other queer, trans, and neurodivergent people feel safe and seen and able to express themselves through roleplay and exciting combat encounters with our DnD characters.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I desperately needed to play more and found a lot of joy in making fun adventures for my partner and friends!

My favorite books are

The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time Book 1) Hitchiker's Guide Series The Hobbit

When I'm not running games I'm...

Filming, hanging out with my cats and my partner, writing, dreaming, blabbing, enjoying my life and resisting fascism.

How DM Natalie runs games

I love to use the rules as a backstop, but I'm always a fan of rule of cool when it's well explained and creative. I *adore* rewarding creativity. I'm here to make a story with you all and provide a fun playground for role playing and smashy smash smash. If something might break the game, I tend to let the dice decide whether I should even entertain the idea, and go from there. Maybe yes, maybe no. Fluffernutter anyone? *devious cackle* I want everyone to have fun, whatever it means to you - Crunchy? Great. RP Heavy? Great. Chaos Gremlin? Great. None of the above? Great! You're all welcome here! I *do* however have a hard line on certain subjects and refuse to let anyone do truly horrible things. Be kind to your fellow players and we'll be golden! ~DM Natalie PS: Regarding the pre-written content - I re-work all of my content to directly address and counter racism/classism/sexism when it comes to stereotyping. For instance - the demonization of Kobolds and Goblins. There's a whole host of beings who are contributing in various ways to the plot and all of them are as diverse in nature as real life beings - good, bad, and in-between. PPS: I also bring engaging music and ambient sounds, beautiful maps and tokens, campy villains, and lots of good vibes!
