About me
Don't mind me. I'm just your average trickster fey. What did you say your true name was again? I love building hidden worlds of fantasy and playing within ones already crafted. While I enjoy the mechanics of savvy character builds and the delicious crunch of tactical combat, I love roleplay and nuanced storytelling most. I aim to make my gaming space inclusive and cozy. I seek players I can build a community with, celebrating diversity. When not playing ttrpg's I can be found stealing the intangible from mortals, working as an illustrator and singing to my cats. Don't mind me :D
GM Style
I'm excited to DM and create experiences focused on character arcs, identity and narrative development. I see my role as a guide to world-building and story-weaving collaboratively with players. The bulk of my games are Play by Post, asynchronous text-based games. This play style occurs over chat and allows all involved to interact at their own leisure, availability and interest. This format is a great way to get roleplay serotonin between your other session-based games, breaks at work/school/household chores and is mobile friendly. Players can post a few times a week or several times a day; allowing time to plan in-character responses, digest a scene and express themselves through creative writing for a deep level of roleplay. I immerse players into my games with vivid text descriptions, npc/monster illustrations and actively update digital maps with tokens for encounters. I foster a welcoming atmosphere to all experience levels and will be there to help you with character creation, ice-breaking in party lounge, learning how to use the dice roller and beyond! Feel free to DM me with any inquiries. I love collaboratively home brewing settings for private games or running free-form private roleplay. Excited to meet you and begin our grand adventure together :D

Why can I only select 3 great things here? Eryn is amazing, they put a lot of effort into making an environment that is fun for everyone. I'm in a play-by-post game and they make sure that we all have great access and are included. It is also fantastic to have such a welcoming and inclusive environment. They're an amazing story teller, encourage creative and cool actions, put tons of work into maps (which is super hard in play-by-post, but they do so well). I'm still learning the rules and they are incredibly patient with me as I ask them endless questions. Also, they are very patient and accommodating with my anxiety disorders

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Eryn in this review. I suppose I'll stick to 3 for Brevity's sake. 1.When playing with Eryn as my DM, the interests of all of their players are on their mind when writing scenes whether you are directly in it or not. They are very aware and receptive to each of their players wants & Idea’s, doing so in a way that is fair for all. 2. Even when they are acting as my enemy and we are trying to defeat each other, the respect is palpable & even though they are on your side, they do an amazing job acting as all the various enemies and encounters you come across to always make you feel challenged. 3.The thing I love the most about being in their wonderful community they've gathered & built is that you don't have to be afraid to be yourself. Truly I feel in the several months I've been in Eryns game, that I have found connections that I truly do consider friends and I feel safe to be me. As an introvert with anxiety that does not socialize on the internet I felt in my gut that this person is someone that is true and authentic, and I consider myself lucky to have stumbled into their game and their community.

I'm currently in an ongoing play-by-post Monster of the Week game. This game has been going on for a while and so I was new to the group and I appreciated that Eryn took the time to answer whatever questions before being introduced to the group. Great for beginners and would definitely consider other games with this GM.

Eryn is an amazing GM! I plopped myself right in the middle of a game, not knowing a lick about how to play DnD. They're incredibly patient, welcoming, and are awesome at answering any questions I have with how the game is played through text. The way Eryn describes scenes, characters, and use maps to show the world is helpful for someone like me who has aphantasia. I really enjoy my time so far and if you decide to play with them as your GM, I hope you have just as much fun!

Eryn runs really fun games. I've played a play-by-post game and a live voice chat game with them as GM, and I'm convinced, and will join more.
