About me

Hi there! I’m Francesca (she/her), a queer AuDHD nerd and literal hobbit. I’m currently a university student in Ireland studying folklore, and I spend essentially all of my free time thinking of new campaigns and characters. I know exactly what it’s like to be a new player and I am extremely happy to be a guide for every step of the way. My games are welcome to all who don’t often see themselves reflected in the larger TTRPG community, because I know firsthand how intimidating it can be for anyone who doesn’t fall under the label of cishet man. I also have lots of experience when it comes to running games for first-time players, so I’m always happy to help people experience the magic of DnD for the first time, as well as working with players at all levels of experience. I run games using D&D 5e, usually with a lean towards themes from folklore and fairytales. I take a creative approach when it comes to game design and character creation, and I love unconventional character builds that center fun and creativity rather than power-gaming. I’m also a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, the Princess Bride, Over the Garden Wall, and Dimension 20, so be sure to expect lots of adventure with lots of wholesome cozy vibes.

GM Style

I deeply love the magic in storytelling, so I lean towards story and narrative over pure game mechanics. That being said, feel free to roleplay at whatever level is comfortable with you, whether that be full character voices and conversations or just narrating what actions you wish to take. However you want to play is up to you, and it’s my goal to make sure you’re having a good time. I’m pretty chill when it comes to rules; I think that the goal of playing DnD is to have a good time and the mechanics shouldn’t have to get in the way of that. I do broadly follow the rules as written, mainly for clarity’s sake. However, if we come across something that gets in the way of telling the story we want to tell, I’m happy to work with you (within reason of course). As a player, you can expect a rich and open world, complete with fantastical storytelling, diverse and colorful NPC’s, homebrew creatures and magical items, and a warm, welcoming environment for all. All campaigns will start with a Session 0 to discuss every player’s comfort level with their gameplay, as well as consent forms to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable. Feel free to come to me any time for questions about the campaign, rules, mechanics, etc.
