About me

DNDJordanLea (She/They) is an LGBTQIA+ variety streamer, TTRPG performer, producer, event coordinator & content creator. Jordan works hard to create a safe "Haven," for her community & uplift marginalized voices. She is an award winning storyteller and her streamed Actual Play, Ampistrano is award Nominated! She has appeared on a number of oneshots and campaign Actual Plays including: Pawns of Prometheus (Orianna), Scribes and Scrolls (Ace'ria Resha), Geek Attack (Alizen Whisperwind) and Savannah by Night, The Melancholy We Weave and a number of charity streams! She has been a GM for several charity oneshots on various platforms and channels. When not DMing or playing - she also appears on several Panels online and at conventions discussing embracing Failure in TTRPGs to Safety tools and accessiblity. Over the last several years - she created the Games for Change TTRPG Charity Weekend, an event that occurs 2 to 3 times a year. During this event, creators, performers, systems and nonprofit organizations working to better the world are highlighted. To date - they have raised over $37.5K for charity. Jordan is always seeking to raise everyone up in this space along with making sure that storytelling and gaming is accessible. Jordan also likes to dive into videogames. On Sundays, she plays a story based game and usually connects the story, elements or character to TTRPGs. The main game she is found playing is Dead by Daylight which she also goes through the lore, how to stat block the characters in TTRPGs and what they may be! The biggest project she has been working as the writer, producer, creator and Storyteller for the Award Nominated - Ampistrano. This DND 5e Homebrew campaign airs on Saturdays and seeks to explore and ask the questions that are not common in TTRPGs. It's an absolute blast as she guides: Pherin, AprilRaygun, Robogoblin/TTRPGifs, Synxiec and Dimplesndice through the chaos and legends beyond the veil of Ampistrano.

GM Style

I am a roleplay and narrative driven DM. I care about the players and their characters. Stories should have depth and meaning for everyone. The story threads should weave together both the characters and the main plot. I am also a rule of cool GM. I am happy to chat about things and as long as it isn't OP -lets do it. I am not someone that knows all the rules or spells and that is ok. I like to interpret things in a variety of ways. Ex: Sending or message - should be more than just words as not everyone interprets the world with words. Scent, sight, touch, sound - all of those should be used in games. Ultimately, I want to make sure everyone is comfortable and having fun!

Jordan is a wonderful GM and I would totally recommend! Fosters a relaxed, comfortable and creative environment for the table and sessions. Inclusivity and safety are at the forefront of every session, and Jordan makes sure we're taken care of before, during and after. Do you want a storyteller who works with you to help your character shine? Or perhaps you want someone who can weave an intriguing tale and bring both drama and comedy? Look no further.

Jordan is a wonderful GM and greatly enjoy having her as a storyteller for our campaign and would totally reccomend! Fosters a relaxed, comfortable and creative environment for the table and sessions. Is attentive and aware of safety, lines and veils in the campaign, always feel comfortable RPing with those aspects at the forefront. Very strong in both storytelling and combat, she works with you in getting the most of backstory and immersion for your PC and the combats are engaging + cinematic.

Jordan always loves to craft stories based on the characters of their players. Not gonna lie, but I had a backstory that wasn't extensive, but Jordan made this whole environment and story where my character thrive from. She made my story so wonderful and special. Jordan cares so much for her players and she listens to them and she will alway strive to make us feel safe and comfortable.

Jordan does an amazing job at setting up a great atmosphere and ambience for the games she has GMed for. Everything has a great amount of flavor and creativity behind it. Additionally she is really good at being aware of the players at her table and trying to incorporate them (comfortably) into the session. Safety tools are a big thing for her, so she is really good at building an inclusive table

Jordan is a master of weaving characters into her stories. She gives each person at the table the opportunity to be the one in the spotlight and have that clutch moment. Jordan give’s beautiful narration to set the scenes and rolls with whatever you throw at her. She’s quick to adapt and really does listen to what you as a player want. There’s no railroad on her games. She also provides a safe table, believing that safety tools allow her to run a rich story without negative impact on players out of game. She’s a professional and consummate game master, I HIGHLY recommend her.
