About Evie
Hi, I'm Evie and I want to play D&D:) I have been DMing for 5 years and I love the creativity and the community this game enables. I grew up loving fantasy novels and adored making silly/melodramatic stories by myself or with my friends. My first taste of D&D worlds was through the Dragonlance novels, which were foundational for my sense of fantasy. I simply think dragons are the coolest things that exist. I am an autistic trans woman and I care about running games that are welcoming for people of all sorts. I love that people bring perspectives and ideas to collaborative storytelling that create these complicated worlds and captivating characters I could never dream up on my own. I always learn things playing D&D that I would never have investigated by myself, so I'm very excited to provide a locus for such shared discovery and creativity.

I got started GMing...
I wanted to play D&D and didn't know anyone who would DM. The Dragonlance books were very dear to me growing up and for that reason the ideas of D&D saturate my own fantasies. So I decided to stop waiting for someone to teach me to play and just teach myself as well as my friends:)
How Evie runs games
I love combat and role playing and role playing through combat. I think RPGs are at their best when the game mechanics enable and reinforce the narrative in a unique way. I make and play all sorts of NPCs and try to give them a life of their own. I am very earnest, and stories at my table are typically not dedicated entirely to slapstick or bits, although there is plenty of room for humor. I love when players get really into their characters, their backstories and their motivations. I especially love when PCs get very into role playing together. I want to empower your fantasy for your character, so if there are narrative elements you'd like to add to the story or small mechanical tweaks that would just make your concept sing then we can probably work something out. I aspire to understand the rules thoroughly so I can break them gracefully. I will often make an exception to the rules to enable a cool idea or a satisfying narrative, but I try to communicate clearly when such an exception is made and why. I am enthusiastic about player's participation in shaping the narrative and I think together we will have a great time making a story unlike any other. We will use Roll 20 and D&D Beyond for all games at my table. We will use Roll 20 for all battle maps and for some exploration scenes, but we will also do a lot of theater of the mind for exploration and social scenes. We will use voice or video chat via discord.

Rules are...
useful tools. I try to understand the rules thoroughly and typically follow them fairly closely. However, I am happy to diverge from RAW for the sake of a cool moment or a more fluid game. I always try to communicate when I am ignoring or changing a rule and why.
Evie's ideal table
My table is a great place for people to roleplay an earnest fantasy narrative. I like being silly, but I do want to tell a substantive story with some character depth. I care about being kind and supportive of one another at the table. I hope I can create a space where characters can flourish and players can have fun, feeling properly engaged.

I love it when a player
roleplays with other PCs. I love seeing PCs build relationships, come up with wacky plans, and hash out their differences.
I think metagaming...
is fine and normal, to an extent. We are playing a game, and I don't expect players to intentionally play against their own interests in attempt to avoid metagaming. It can go too far though. If your looking up a monster while fighting it, for instance, you might be robbing yourself of some fun.
My table is not the place for...
consistently cruel or sadistic PCs. I am all for faults and immoral moments, but I do not enjoy the playstyle that treats TTRPGs as a sociopath simulator.
