About Daria

Hello Everyone! I'm Daria (She/Her), a trans RPG writer and GM from the Midwest (USA). You can find my work featured in the first two issues of Knock, as well as the upcoming Beetle Knight TTRPG. I've been playing TTRPG's since I was 7 years old, and been running weekly games for my family and friends since 2015. I have experience with a long list of TTRPG's, but my recurring favorites are Troika!, Mork Borg, Mausritter, and Mothership. My games here will almost always be held on Roll20, and tend to skew more towards an open world sandbox style of play. Horror also tends to be a consistent prominent theme in the games I run, as Monster/ Creature reveals are one of my personal specialties.

How Daria runs games

As a GM it's important to me that my players have autonomy and are pursuing the Quests, Items, Locations, and NPC's who actually interest them. I like to make frequent use of random tables in my games, and like to treat the world more like an analog roguelike. My games are generally open ended and lack a main questline, unless I'm running through a shorter pre-made adventure. If any sort of traditional "BBEG" or antagonist appears they will be made by your own actions as players, determined through emergent gameplay. I don't get very hung up on the video game like frills offered by VTT's and offer a straightforward gaming experience. Tight schedule? No worries! If any of my campaign listings interest you don't hesitate to reach out, I'll schedule a new listing for that campaign at a time that works for you!
