About me

"Once, long ago, there was a young girl who spent all her time with her head up in the clouds. Through her teenage years, she longed to play D&D but had no one to do so with, so she wrote stories, and read books instead. Then, so many years later, a series of world events brought her what she so desperately desired: a captive group of friends with nothing better to do than indulge her whims! So now she plays D&D every night of the week and no one will ever escape again. But her hunger grows. Time for fresh meat." - A narrator probably

GM Style

I enjoy running intelligent creatures in combat, and love improving with whatever random NPC characters decide to latch onto.

This was my first time as a player with Elle, and as a player in years...specifically on a digital platform. I feel the session had a great combination of both an 'old school' TTRPG session feel, with aspects of digital features. Though it was just a one-shot with a small group, her story-telling for the session was very well crafted and told for such a short story; making characters, NPCs and a growing plot that was worth caring about. Combine that with her willingness to teach and explain how features in digital platforms worked - for those who struggle with technology - and in my humble opinion, as a part-time DM myself, Elle is a Dungeon Master you cannot go wrong with if you're looking for a session or a campaign that is hosted with care on both Player and Character aspects. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of her hosted content. Thank you Elle, for letting a forever DM, be a player after nearly 10 years

Very good experience with this DM. Very good at working with their players while still keeping the plot moving. Friendly and understanding and listens to feedback well.

Did an excellent job of setting the scenes and allowing for players to expand on their own ideas. Also did a really heart breaking situation that made things worse :D

I have played in a few campaigns with Elle both with her as a DM and with her as a player, roleplay between her characters and mine is something I always look forward to when she is playing and when she is the DM I often times forget that the characters that fill out the world are all played by the same person. I cannot recommend her enough and I feel like the characters I have made for her campaigns often leave with a much more interesting story than I intended.

She can and will use your character's backstory against you. That orphan you helped out before the adventure started? Dead or evil now. Have you been sending money to your family back home? Probably dead. She also plays monsters smart (depending on their intelligence score) and is not afraid to kill your character. All that said, she's probably my favorite DM I've ever played with and I've loved every single moment of her just fucking up my guys.

This DM is a great story teller, weaving word pictures, and creating memorable NPC's. Her games are always lots of fun. But, player beware! She's not "out to get you", but if your character does something dumb and dies, she's certainly not going to stop that from happening. However if that does happen, it's always in a memorable and meaningful way. (We've learned over the years to always have that next character idea in the back of our mind, just in case.) I could only pick 3 tags, but honestly I could have picked most, if not all of them. I've thoroughly enjoyed every game I've played with her! One of my favorites!
