About Leia
I've always loved creating stories. Whether I was a young girl, trudging through the bushes in my backyard on Tolkien-like adventures, or pouring words onto a page with pen and ink. So, when I discovered TTRPGs, I knew that was the way I was going to begin telling stories. I adored the feeling of weaving a tale that enraptures my players. I pride myself on a kind of cooperative story telling. I have the setting and the over all arcing plot, but I allow my players to help shape the story. I want them to feel as though their characters are truly a part of a living, breathing world.

My favorite books are
I love just about anything that's been written by Brandon Sanderson. The depth and detail of his worldbuilding is something I strive to emulate in my games.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Painting miniatures for various TTRPGs or playing videogames. Want to get me talking? Ask me about Bioshock. XD
How Leia runs games
My games tend to air on the side of heavy role play, so if you have a wild idea, try me. Though I do try to stick as best I can to the "Rules as Written", I'm not above bending a rule here or there to let players have a fun moment. I tend to use theater of the mind for most combats, but will venture to using VTTs in more complicated fights (i.e. boss battles or bunches of enemies)

I deal with rules issues by...
I consider what the rule is. What does our source material say about the rule? If a player is attempting to bend the rule, how far are they trying to bend it and will it *really* break the game if the succeed/fail? In the end, as the Game Master, I'll make a rulling and will consider that final.
