About me
I got into D&D back in the olden days when the game was young and after all this time I'm still not bored with it! Playing is fun but I find DMing more rewarding as I love to create new places, scenarios, and characters, and to cook up original plots and adventures. I love to make maps and guide players through them, but I also appreciate theater of the mind when maps can be too limiting. I love teaching new people to play, so feel free to message me if you are too intimidated to join a group. Solo games are always an option!
GM Style
Long time DM converted from in-house play to online using VTTs and Discord (thanks, Covid). Looking for new players, especially those new to D&D or those bored with premade modules and ready for some new experiences. I tend to take premade modules and change almost everything about them, so even if you played it before, it will be new and improved in my games. I prefer chill experiences and fun players. Roleplay is awesome, but I realize it's not for everyone, so I have a good mix of roleplay and skull-bashing. I like both published modules and homebrew, but often mix the two for the hell of it to keep things interesting. I have a casual, laid back playing style geared more towards fun than following every rule to a T. Rules are meant to be bent, broken, and changed, and the Rule of Cool will usually override RAW. No grimdark, unless it's Curse of Strahd or similar plot-driven stories, and even those will have lighthearted moments to relieve the tension and allow a variety of experiences. I am not a fan of loner PCs. If you are joining a group to go adventuring, then you should be excited to be a part of the group, so while it's fine to have a gloomy edgelord, that guy should be willing to wholeheartedly join a team and eventually open up to the group. The best experiences are shared and character growth can be satisfying for everyone.

Dyson is probably one of the most chill DMs I've ever played with. She's great a role play, combat, and has excellent humor which shines in both in her personality out of character as well as in character. I had been struggling to find joy in TTRPGs recently and this Curse of Strahd campaign that she's running has really gotten me excited for what is a pivotal and vital hobby in my life. Would highly, highly recommend.
