About Ellie
I love using my creative skills to make unique games! I typically make my own maps and NPC art, and I'm looking forward to expanding my small D&D community.

When I'm not running games I'm...
building something ridiculous in Planet Zoo, my favorite game of all time.
How Ellie runs games
I love flexing my creative skills - making unique character art for both players and NPCs, creating exciting maps with a lot of detail, and designing interesting homebrew content tailored to and for my players. I typically allow homebrew content from my players so long as I can pre-approve/review it for balance. I believe in transparency from the GM, and because of that, I always roll openly for my players to see - I do not "fudge" dice rolls. Character death is always a possibility in my games because of this. I will make sure my players are aware of the setting and themes of the campaign before PC creation so they can make a powerful character within the world. I display a dynamic (non-numerical) health bar for all hostile enemies so players can make informed decisions during combat at a glance. I tend to have an even split of roleplay and combat; but I will follow the players lead if they prefer a different split. I will also set up a safe way to discuss unwanted triggers, themes, events, etc. in the game before we start and make sure everyone is on the same page for the type of game we want to play.

I once ran a session...
where all the players chose support classes. Ask me how long combat took...
Ellie's ideal table
I love players that enjoy engaging in roleplay with the NPCs as much as they enjoying beating things up. I appreciate players who want to try crazy ideas - especially if they involve the entire party.
