About Emma
Hello everyone! My name is Emma, and I'm a forever GM of many years who loves to tell meaningful stories with whoever sits at my table! TTRPGs first made an appearance in my life in 2015 when a neighbor invited me to try out Dungeons and Dragons through our high school's gaming club. While half of my first session was spent creating my first ever character, the excitement at the table was infectious. Before long I was hooked, and within two years I was DMing games of my own! Fast forward to today: I am the Founder and Creative Director of the Tabletop Talespinners Network, a TTRPG podcast network whose mission is featuring diverse GMs and players at our tables. I DM two D&D 5e podcasts for the network, and have appeared on multiple livestreams as a GM and player in a multitude of TTRPG systems. Now, I'm hoping to bring that expertise to running games for you! Safety, inclusivity, and fun are my top priorities in any game I run. My tables are always BIMPOC and LGBTQ+ friendly, and players are expected to treat each other with kindness and respect. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and/or body shaming will not be tolerated at the table in or out of game. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope to see you at a table of mine soon!

I became a GM because
I wanted to help people tell a story. GMing is such a uniquely collaborative experience because you're taking the ideas of others and weaving them into a living, breathing world that changes with every action your players take, and I never get tired of seeing what they decide to do.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Managing a TTRPG actual play podcast network! On the rare occasion that I get time off from either this or content creation, I can be found reading, writing, hanging out with my German Shepherd Vinnie, or playing video games!
How Emma runs games
With multiple years of acting experience, you can expect lots of RP and a variety of silly voices for your favorite NPCs! I'm primarily a rule of cool GM, meaning that the rules are a guideline and I will usually twist them to suit the needs of the story so long as your request doesn't break the game!

My games focus on...
story first, with heavy emphasis on in character discussion to move the story forward. Any combat or puzzles included are directly related to the plot, as is any material included from player backstories.
