About me

My name is Emma (She/Her). I'm a GM with 15 years of RPG experience, who's ready to share what I love with you! Currently I'm running Monster of the Week Campaigns, but I have experience GMing for Pathfinder 1e, D&D 5e, and a couple Indie RPGS. I specialize in teaching newer players, and creating safe places for LGBTQ+, woman and non-binary players. My friends describe my personality as a LG Paladin who's a little to into my iced coffees. Don't see what you want to play? Shoot me a message and lets talk! Custom campaigns available starting at 20 dollars a player!

GM Style

My games are RP focused with mysteries, puzzles, and light combat. As a GM I focus on providing a framework for players to build upon, leaving you and your party in control to live the story you want told. My goal is to provide you with a compelling world to explore, filled with loveable (or hateable!) NPCs, and mysteries to solve, and heroic missions to be completed.

Emma is a master at splicing modules together to create a campaign the flows together. Emma GMed a year and a half long campaign for my group using various pathfinder modules, and she weaved a strong meta plot over the top, that really drove the game forward to a great conclusion.

Overall, a good gm. She listens to players well. Someone in our party has a fear of spiders, and I personally am afraid of centipedes. Emma went through the module ahead of time and replaced all of the giant bugs with other monsters. This made everyone more comfortable and led to a better play experience. I recommend Emma as dm.

I have been playing with Emma as the GM for a year and half now. The group we play with has a wide variety of play styles. I prefer more dungeon crawls, while other players in our group are more focused on storyline, or character interactions. Emma does an excellent job integrating each players style into the game, keeping everyone engaged and having a grand time. Emma also does a stellar job working with everyone's schedules. As a full time college student with a job, this is important. This makes me feel included in the group, even if I can't make it to every game. Over all I would highly recommend Emma to GM your game, she can cater to a diverse group of people, and is welcoming making everyone feel included included.

This GM is sensitive to the players' identities and needs. Squicks, triggers, pronouns are all respected. Her scenarios are less dungeon crawl and more interactive story telling. Spider phobe? She'll find some other monster. Prefer happy or at least hopeful endings? Don't like things TOO grimdark? She's got you.

Emma is a wonderful DM that I have had the pleasure of playing with. I have enjoyed playing with her because her stories are always well thought out. As a DM she allows the players to lead many aspects of the game making it very fun and enjoyable to be apart of her games. Even with letting the players lead she somehow manages to keep the story line on track and moving at a good pace.
