About Diamond Welch [The ForeverST/GM]

Hello! My name is Diamond Welch, and I'm excited to give this whole professional Game Master thing a good college try! This isn’t my first time being a Game Master or storyteller. I usually run superhero tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), World of Darkness games, Dungeons & Dragons, and various other TTRPGs. I also serve as a storyteller for two LARP events that I organize, so I have plenty of experience! I value drama, intrigue, and, most importantly, some good old action and improvisation! I hope that when I have a game ready to run, you all will give it a shot! However, there are certain behaviors I simply won’t tolerate at my table. I will not accept bigotry of any kind, hate speech, or anything that makes me or the players feel uncomfortable. I want my table to be a safe space for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or background. I am also available to run solo sessions or one-shots for those who apply and choose to book me! Just send me a DM to arrange your booking for these sessions!

I became a GM because

I became a Game Master because I love storytelling. There’s something magical about building worlds, breathing life into characters, and watching players bring it all to life with their choices. I don’t just run games—I tell stories with you, not at you.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Hype,Fun,Great

When I'm not running games I'm...

When I’m not deeply immersed in the vibrant world of gaming, I love to spend time with my friends, sharing laughter and stories. I also enjoy getting lost in the colorful pages of comic books and manga, where thrilling adventures and imaginative characters come to life.

How Diamond Welch [The ForeverST/GM] runs games

I am the type of ST/GM who believes that everyone should have a great time at the table. I embrace a "Yes, and" approach, aiming to balance player enjoyment with the understanding that there can be consequences for failure; however, the potential rewards make it worth the risk! I enjoy incorporating action, drama, and intrigue into my games, and I strive to provide vivid descriptions of scenes while encouraging players to delve deep into their characters and explore their depths. I also aim to create a safe space at my table, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and invited. Ultimately, I see myself as a showman, committed to putting on the greatest show so everyone can have a memorable experience!

My favorite trope is...

My favorite trope? The reluctant hero—the one who never asked for greatness, who runs from the call until they realize they’re the only one who can answer it. They're not in it for glory. They’re scared, scarred, or simply tired—but they rise anyway. Because someone has to.

My games focus on...

This game is built around the Hero’s Journey—a tale of growth, struggle, transformation, and rising to meet a greater destiny. But it’s not just about epic battles or saving the world. At this table, your character matters. Their past, their choices, their fears, their hopes.

Rules are...

Rules are meant to be followed—but not at the expense of the players. I use the rules to create fairness, challenge, and structure, but I’m not a slave to the book. If a rule gets in the way of fun, storytelling, or awesome moments, I’m not afraid to bend it.

Diamond Welch [The ForeverST/GM]'s ideal table

I want a table where everyone is excited to be their characters—digging deep into who they are, what they believe, and how they grow. This is a space for storytelling and self-discovery, where the narrative isn't just about slaying monsters or winning battles—it's about exploring who your character becomes when faced with the unknown. Whether it’s personal arcs, emotional moments, or tough choices, I love when players invest in the journey as much as the destination. If you enjoy rich roleplay, character-driven storytelling, and the freedom to shape your path, you're in the right place.

I am for a vibe that's...

it’s all about having fun and really getting into the game—feeling the highs and lows of the story, getting invested in the world, and cheering each other on through every twist and turn.

I love it when a player

I love when a player doesn't just dive deep into their own character’s journey—but also cares about everyone else’s. When the rogue comforts the paladin in crisis, or the quiet mage remembers a piece of another player's backstory and uses it in a clutch moments.

I think it's a red flag when players...

One of my biggest red flags is when a player refuses to accept in-character consequences for their character’s actions. Actions have meaning in this story, and choices shape the world around them—for better or worse.
