About Emile
I run World of Darkness games on Discord, from one shots to full, longer chronicles. I'm beginner friendly, and you don't need to know the rules to start having fun. I can build your character for you or help you build your own. Hey there! As you can see, I'm a big fan of the World of Darkness. I am Emile, or, as some people like to call me, Dodo. My whole life revolves around telling stories, be it alone or with other people. I write poetry, play guitar, go to fantasy fairs, play video games and, of course, do roleplaying games. I grew up on fandoms like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings, and that spark turned into a lifelong love of storytelling. It led me to my very first roleplaying session in college. The sense of community and acceptance I felt with that first group, which I ran with for years, was so special. It is what I want to bring to every table I run: safety, acceptance, care, and an escape from the real world. The games I run can be dark, but that is not a reflection of who I am or what my table is about. It's very important to me that everyone feels welcome to be who they truly are, with respect for everyone else at the table. I have a lot of fun telling stories in the World of Darkness. I love showing new players the ropes, and I just as happily welcome veteran players looking for a darker, character-driven story.

My favorite shows/movies are
Right now that would be: Andor, one of the better starwars tv shows out there right now. Fargo, I love how these people write scenes and overarching plots. The wheel of time, bring this back please! I need more!
When I'm not running games I'm...
I will probably be playing video games, or writing my poetry. The challenge is to write 12 pieces this year each month one poetry piece. There are now 8 pieces written so very much on pace as of the moment of writing this.
How Emile runs games
Blurt out your wildest idea before you even think about whether it's possible. We'll find a way to make it happen, with a reasonable roll attached. Succeed or fail, I want humor, seriousness and total badassery to go hand in hand. Want to trick the Prince of New York into granting you a boon for saving him from your own trap? Or turn a rival coterie's plan against them at the worst possible moment? Let's go for it! Are the people you think of as allies really on your side? Will a chance encounter with a stranger snowball into something much bigger? Expect nerve-racking scenes that can make or break your plan, as well as quieter moments where characters, and players, get to know each other better. Whether you prefer politics, action, social intrigue or combat, it's all there for you to dive into. Just as important as the in-game atmosphere is the atmosphere at the table. A table needs to feel safe, welcoming and drama-free. I like everyone to crack jokes, support each other in tough times and express themselves in a civil way. All of this makes for satisfying and meaningful games.

Rules are...
there as guidelines. It helps create a system to see if your idea gets you where you want to be or lands you into trouble that we will have as much fun trying to get you out off. Rules can me misinterpreted or forgotten, I always aim to make a game fair that is where the fun starts.
Emile's ideal table
My ideal table is one where everyone brings their own favourite snacks to their own desk. The room is filled with laughter, and people talk about what they went through that day. A pizza is already baking in my oven. It becomes a natural break point for a pause in our session, or fuel for the excitement going on in the game. Of course, my games are virtual, but that atmosphere is what I bring with me to every session. A safe haven where people can enjoy themselves, where everyone works together to have a fun time, shares the spotlight for scenes, and builds a story with each other, not at each other's expense.

I love it when a player
Comes up with something that makes my jaw drop. Roleplaying is a creative process and when someone comes up with something wacky that just might work. It is in one word mindblowing
