About me
Hey there! I'm Lex- a former theatre and improv kid turned GM & Voice Actor! I'm so excited for the opportunity to connect and play together. I love to connect people who are enthusiastic and looking to weave a story together in whatever short or long time we have together. I'm very passionate about introducing new players to the game as well as playing with experienced, higher level players as well. I love helping with character creation, walking through my "D&D For Beginners" doc for new players, or thinking up new challenges for seasoned players to experience something different. As a GM, my strengths are: - Fun and interesting NPCs: Here is where I utilize my theatre and improv background and give each interaction its own feel and story-- even just merchants along your way! - Dynamic combat: Combat can easily turn into HP vs. HP. My dynamic combat keeps you engaged as I incorporate speeches and dialogue, alternative turn actions, and unique abilities that can be met with all types of different approaches. - Session pacing & expectations: Ever been in a session where you saved up all your spell slots waiting for the BIG moment that never came? Have you felt like one player character grabbed every treasure or spoke to every NPC? I make sure to facilitate a well-paced, diverse game that includes contributions from all players. - Creating space for organic role play: there's always a player and a backstory behind every character's abilities. I aim to create space and provide opportunities for organic role play that add to the richness of the story and interactions with other characters and NPCs. Looking forward to meeting you and starting our story together!

Unique and clever story. Natural GM with fun voices, versatility, good story progression, and good visual maps. Highly recommend.

Lex used her finely-crafted skill as a story teller and voice actor to set the tone for the game. She was always willing to use the age-old "Yes, And" rule of improv to allow us to flex our creative muscles at the table. I would happily sit at any table she was heading up again in the future!

I've played for a few years between me and my friends in person, She was great day keeping everyone engaged and wasn't afraid to go out her way before game to help you out!

Lex is hands down an amazing GM. She welcomes people into the game at all levels of experience and provides my ideal mix of roleplay, combat, and all around shenanigans. She makes it so easy to want to keep playing and I could not recommend her highly enough - she's the perfect guide for your next adventure :)

Lex is such a great GM! She is wildly prepared, never judgmental if you have to ask a basic question, and makes the session so much fun. Excellent voices, balanced time among players, a good mix of combat/exploration/role play, and makes it really easy to lose yourself in the world of the game. Would absolutely recommend - she's a great GM for all levels and you will absolutely have a blast!!
Robert
