About Elisha
Howdy! My name is Elisha (like Elijah), I'm located out of Philadelphia, PA, and I've been a Dungeon Master for the better part of the past 10 years. I have a background in improv and stage-theatre which helps me build a more immersive experience for my players. I have DM'd internationally for groups while on my travels. My campaign settings have ranged from serious Strahd-esque adventures to light-hearted Humblewood campaigns. I've DM'd for a variety of dungeon masters, taking notes from each on ways to improve pacing for optimized engagement.

I started running games because...
As a player I would make WAY too many character concepts until I realized I was meant to play all of the characters as a GM! Just kidding, a friend asked me to run a game, I learned the rules, and suddenly I'm the forever DM haha.
My favorite books are
Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Mark of The Fool
When I'm not running games I'm...
Playing the Tuba in the Philadelphia Freedom Band! We're an LGBTQIA+ band!
How Elisha runs games
I love to keep a nice flow to my sessions without railroading my players. The key to this is story-driven milestones and adjustable scenarios. The players make the game, it's my job as a DM to shape that into a fulfilling adventure. When it comes to setting a scene - I like to pull out all the stops. I curate playlists for background music, combat music, and dramatic scenes while also keeping a soundpad on standby for dramatic effect.
