About me
Hi! I'm a Dungeon Master in my free time (during the day I'm an acting major at college in NYC). I run several weekly D&D home games with different groups of players and I'm used to adapting to various genres and tones. In life, I genuinely don't think anything has as much power to bring people together as storytelling. I love meeting new people and learning what they want from their characters and their narratives. (And yes, I promise I'll read your backstory.)
GM Style
I love roleplay and narrative storytelling but I'm also great at making space for players who are shy and newer to improv. I do my best to make an engaging tactical space as well, but expect the majority of combat to be theater of the mind. All of my campaigns are homebrew settings, but I'm willing to include setting-specific content as long as you work with me to tie it into the story. As for character voices, I consider myself quite capable when it comes to accents and dialects (although I still have a lot to learn).

She is just the coolest. She has this incredibly immersive and captivating and interesting worldbuilding that makes the world feel so big and so real. There’s a ~100 page diary she wrote herself from the perspective of one of the villains that is so wonderful and well-written. She is an amazing storyteller, writer, actress, improviser, and is also just a wonderful person to spend time with. 10/10 would forever and ever recommend.

Evie is an incredibly clever story-oriented game master- she is a brilliant world builder and her skill for weaving themes into campaigns is amazing. She always works closely with her players, so any story told feels incredibly collaborative and beautifully interactive. She lets the party have fun while still keeping the game moving- I’m always really impressed by her ability to nudge the players to different story beats without feeling like she’s railroading in the slightest. She also has an awesome sense for party cohesion and how to bring together players who might not have played together before. Also, she does great voices. Basically, play with Evie if you want to tell/experience a great story in a beautifully fleshed-out world.

Having Evie as our Game Master was a wonderful experience! The world was rich and full of life (and death lol). If success was measured by fun than I would say Evie set our party up for success. Evie embodied each NPC, and they fit in to the world in ways that endearing/abhorrent ways that one can't help but enjoy. #RIPCannonball and thank you Evie!

Evie was a wonderful host for my first game on StartPlaying! The voices were great and she told a lovely story outside of the general doom and gloom of most adventures. As someone who hadn’t played in a few years, our oneshot was a perfect re-introduction.
