About Erin Leigh Ever ♡
Hello! 🖤 I’m Erin. Here’s the important stuff: 🎲 DM style: immersive, story driven, and roleplay heavy, with a focus on all things horror 🖤 Favorite things: video games (especially spooky ones), horror movies (especially spooky ones), books (especially spooky ones), pilates (especially spooky ones), and of course, D&D (especially spooky ones) ✨ Overall vibe: friendly, inclusive, and fun. LGBTQ+ folks and beginners to D&D are very welcome. Yes, I am available for custom games! You can book a private session just for you and your friends, coworkers, date nights, corporate events, and more. Feel free to contact me here on SP and we can plan something fun. Any other questions? My messages are always open. Looking forward to telling stories together 🖤

I got started GMing...
because I kept coming up with character ideas and wanting to play them all. THEN IT HIT ME.
My favorite books are
In no particular order: The Diamond Age, The Only Good Indians, His Dark Materials trilogy, Vanity Fair, The Last Unicorn, Sphere, The Valley of Amazement, Rebecca, Into the Drowning Deep, The Night Circus, Those Across the River, Party Monster, Circe, and far too many more to name. Books are neat.
People are always surprised when I tell them
that being a Pro DM is, in fact, a thing. And it's pretty great!
How Erin Leigh Ever ♡ runs games
🎭 Roleplay - My favorite thing! I love making interesting NPCs and diabolical Big Bads for you to interact with, and I love when you give your characters cool backstories and goals that I can incorporate into our games. ⚔️ Combat - I focus on encounters that advance the story and feel appropriately epic, meaning I would rather have a session with no combat than "oh look, here's 3 random wolves." That said, when it's go time, I want the stakes to feel high and I keep the pace fast and engaging. I encourage tactical fighting, describing your attacks, and clever uses of your abilities. 🌎 Exploration - I enjoy describing the scene in detail so you have a clear picture of your surroundings as you explore, but I provide pretty maps and images on my premium virtual tabletop to really bring the game to life. My custom music playlists add ambience and tension to complete the immersion. 📚 Rules - I use the official 2024 5.5e rules just so everyone has the same baseline on gameplay and abilities. However, I’m very much in favor of the Rule of Cool and encourage my players to try unusual things and use their abilities creatively. After all, what's the point of fantasy if you can't do fantastic things? 🖤 Player Comfort - A priority, always. I will be upfront about content warnings, and limits and lines will always be respected. My table is a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment, and we will all work together to ensure everyone has a great time.

My favorite trope is...
I am a sucker for any variation on the haunted house, whether it be an actual creepy house, a grand hotel, or a derelict spaceship. Yes please.
My games focus on...
your characters. I typically run modules but I re-write and customize a lot of content to suit the party and their goals.

I am for a vibe that's...
welcoming, open-minded, and collaborative, with a nice blend of creeping dread, emotional punch, and humor.
I love it when a player
has a character with a backstory/starting point, and then evolves them over the course of the game based on their experiences. Leaving yourself open to possibilities you didn't expect is one of my favorite parts of the game.
My perfect party mix is
everyone playing the characters that they're the most excited to play. "Ideal" party composition doesn't matter as much as enthusiasm for the story and the character's journey.
