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

Eryn is incredibly patient and welcoming. She answered most, if not all, of my questions about the game professionally and, in my opinion, with the right amount of detail. Her extensive safety system for play inspired me at first glance. I cannot formally review how well her play-by-post is like other players. They seem innovative and fun yet clean and organised, as others have reviewed, for I did not have the chance to join the game officially due to personal reasons. In short, I recommend giving Eryn a try. I hope you have an experience as comfortable and welcoming as mine.

I asked Eryn to run a one-shot for my daughter's birthday party, where the group was a mix of experienced players and some entirely new to D&D. They put together pre-rolled character sheets, and guided the kids through a multi-hour adventure that they absolutely loved. Eryn was consummately professional, incredibly welcoming, and just an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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 is a fantastic DM! They're very open to questions and very fair in how they run the game. They also care greatly about how the players themselves are feeling during certain scenes and have done a fantastic job in directing the story based on character choices. Definitely recommend. =)
