About Melody

Howdy I am Melody! I have been a system-agnostic GM for most of my life, and I hope to bring that experience to your table! My focus is on back-and-forth play, character depth, and narrative stakes.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Daggerheart: my favorite system of all time! Mothership: Space game! Horror! City of Mist: Open ended game that can be retrofitted for anything modern!

My favorite books are

I absolutely love Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn novels, the dramatic storytelling couples with the very unique power system to make for a one-of-a-kind world!

My favorite system of all Time is

Daggerheart. Despite being new to the scene I feel that Daggerheart treads the fine line between easy to pick up, and deep to learn. The focus on cinematic and dramatic moments is perfect for the way I like to tell story, and I love how it doesn't get bogged down in the details!

How Melody runs games

I love making situations that finds the true depth of the character that come to my table. From cozy tavern scenes to grandiose finales, I hope to be there along with you for the journey, seeing the characters and the world inform and shape each other. I also love to challenge my players. You can expect complex social situations, puzzles and riddles, and of course the big scary boss monsters. I am first and foremost an original content GM! I love bringing the stories and ideas in my mind to life, and I hope you are there to write them with me!

I deal with rules issues by...

Talking about it! I always have an open door if there is a rule or way that is being played that you disagree with. I love to stay flexible and cinematic as the hero moments come up!

My favorite trope is...

The Murder Mystery. I absolutely love setting up a mystery for my players to solve, and a whodunnit murder is one of the core roleplaying experiences to me!

Melody's ideal table

I love fostering a table and community that can not only be unified on game day, but also building each other up out of game too! On game day, I build a vibe of collaboration, deep storytelling, and good vibes! We may get on tangents, or crack jokes, and at the end of it the story is still the most important part.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Worldbuilding. I love putting the ball in the players' court when it comes to worldbuilding sometimes! This collaborative back-and-forth leads to a wholly unique and totally ours style of game.

I love it when a player

I love it when a player comes to me with ideas, a story that they want to tell. I love listening to the theories of what might be happening, and I may even use those theories if they are better than what I had planned! I hope to include moments that make the table feel collaborative!
