About me
Hello, potential player! My name is Bethany, and I am the Dungeon Master for the Table Top Roleplaying Theater's "The Land of Dark Dreams" on twitch TV and Youtube, as well as Anrayne 'Ruby' Sunderstar on The Component Cast's Elendor Chronicles. I am a full time 'Professional' Dungeon Master, and you might have heard of me from the recently published article from Bloomberg. I have been playing D&D since 1997. I'm also a veteran of the United States Navy, a writer, storyteller, and voice actor. Finally, I am a trans-rights activist, and a wife to a wife. If you wish to contact me for hiring's or games, my email address is: adventurewithadvantage@gmail.com. You can also find me on discord, Facebook, twitter @DM_Opal, and Twitch!

I have been playing games with Bethany for years and I keep coming back for more. The Tales of Iria campaign has been a favorite of mine and each time I have been a player of it there has been a new and entirely different experience waiting for me. Beth takes the time to world build around your character making you feel special and included in the lore of the world. I should also say that Beth doesn't try to stifle my creativity and I appreciate that about her. I daresay she actually encourages it.
Bethany is an amazing Game Master that I recommend without hesitation. This was my first time playing a Cyberpunk RPG, and was patiently guided through the character creation, introduced me to Talespire, and even helped with my Hero Forge model and character image. Bethany was great about collaborating with me on Discord and always responded quickly to my questions. I'm really looking forward to playing in more of her games!
I've loved D&D since my very first game. I've picked up games every night of the week, and not thought twice about it. So when I had an opening in my schedule and stumbled across Beth's game, I was just excited for the chance to start a new story from the beginning. I had no idea what was waiting for me in that first session. A world, vibrantly rich and alive, created with so much love and care that it becomes something more than maps and tokens in a VTT. She encourages players to engage with the world, to integrate themselves into it and become a vital part of the story beyond simply being the chosen heroes of the hour. More than that, Beth knows how to tell not just the heroic epics of glory and grandeur, but also a story of struggle and loss where the heroes can fail and must choose to pick themselves back up and press on. I do not know when the last time was that I shed actual tears during a session, but I did in Beth's game from the sheer depth of emotions she was able to evoke during the course of our campaign so far. It takes only a single session with Beth to see the incredible amount of planning and care that goes into her games. Maps are more than just 2D pictures, instead beautifully rendered 3D terrains within Talespire, giving the feel of actually being back at the table with friends. Ambiance is pristine, with music feeling almost tailor-made for each and every situation. She writes characters with interests and motivations outside the scope of the party that makes each and every game feel like it is taking place in a world that never truly sleeps. Stepping into one of Beth's games is to learn you are only a part of something so much larger, and she is there to be your guide and invite you along to becoming something that will leave an indelible mark on this world she's made to share with you.
