About me

Howdy hey! I'm an LGBTQ+ focused, size inclusive, intersectional tabletop GM with 10 years of experience. I started playing these games young, and my style and the way I tell stories, the worlds I create, has evolved with my identity. I take active steps to make sure that everybody that sits at my table, whether in person or virtual, is represented, seen, heard, and loved in my games, and that I can provide not only a fantastic story and a world of fun, but also a second world to live and breathe in as your home, when the real one gets a little rough. My home system is D&D 5e, and I'm fantastic with first time players. I have no qualms teaching the game, or teaching other systems/trying new ones out. I love to be involved in the character creation process and really work Player Characters into the world they'll be playing in. Please free to ask any questions at all about me, my process, or my two cats!

GM Style

Above all else I love to be adaptable. I'm not going to through crunchy combat encounters session after session at a group that really prefers to RP, explore, and solve puzzles. I prefer RP myself, I'm great with voices (I have a BFA in voice acting, accents and dialects specifically), theming, and imagery, but I also love running high stakes combat encounters where the goals are more interesting and engaging than "get the big monster HP bar down before your own." My biggest keystone is sitting down and talking with players to figure out what they really want out of their experience and working to fulfill those wishes in the best way possible, while still pushing some boundaries to broaden horizons and keep things interesting.
