About Francesca
Greetings, and well met, adventurers! I’m Francesca, and I’m a long time DM and player of Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder. I run story and roleplay heavy campaigns, and I’m eager to run one for you!

I became a GM because
I love world building and it gave me a chance to write stories with my friends, by playing out the world I had built!
My favorite system of all Time is
Dungeons and Dragons 3.5! I love the infinite possibilities of who and what you can be! It may be a little harder to pick up at first, but once you get the hang of it, the sky’s the limit!
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Immersive, descriptive, and thoughtful.
How Francesca runs games
I’ve always believed there’s no such thing as a bad roll- bad rolls make for good story! I tend to play looser with XP, gold, and rules in favor of the table having a good time and having good character development! As far as combat goes, I expect you to know how to work your character- I will not hand hold or look it up for you.

I deal with rules issues by...
Listening proactively and with empathy. We're all here to have fun! If there's an issue the table gets a choice- A) Let the GM ruling stand, or B) Pause the game to look up an official ruling and re-rule if necessary. I'm here to go with the flow.
Rules are...
"Guidelines". I do my best, but you know what? I'm human (despite my deep desire to be an Elf). If everyone is having fun, if I make a mistake, we can either run with it or the table can rule for a re-ruling.
When it comes to voices
I tend to get a little... immersive or silly. When I run sessions for my kids I always have a sore throat afterwards from getting too silly with the voices!
Francesca's ideal table
All are welcome at my table, but if you’re a fan of roleplaying and heavy story related questing, you’ll fit right in! That doesn’t mean it’s all serious, though! It can be silly, serious, and fun- we go with the flow!

I love it when a player
Interacts with NPCs, asks questions, and delves into the story!
I think min/maxing...
Is a gimmick for tropes and giggles. It's my least favorite aspect of the game.
My table is not the place for...
Heavy combat or min-maxers. I *want* you to have flaws. I *want* you to have bad rolls. I want you to learn and grow from your mistakes and blunders, not always succeed!
