About Yaz

Hi there! I'm DM Yaz, an IRL adventurer and storyteller. Adventurer: I've travelled the breadth of the world, crossing desolate landscapes, drifting lazily down lush rainforest rivers, diving coral reefs and frigid lakes, pampering myself in tropical paradises, nearly been eaten by tigers (twice!), braving some of the most "dangerous" cities in the world, visiting remote villages with no modern technology, witnessing diverse cultural and religious practices, and meeting amazing people from all walks of life. Storyteller: I love telling stories. Like many of you, I grew up reading them. More recently, I listen to audiobooks and D&D live-plays, and read (or make up) stories for my kids. and This has lead me to the joy of using unique voices (accents and attitudes) for the characters. Over the past 5 years of being a DM, I've discovered my creative outlet. I channel all that creative energy into crafting unique stories, worlds, and people into which to immerse your character. My recipe for gaming success: Take this dragon's hoard of real world experience, season with years of gaming experience, sprinkle in a knack for accents, and add a love of telling stories. Mix into a cauldron made imagination to get a magical adventure set in a unique world, which we shall reshape through with our combined imaginations. There's only one missing ingredient to make this the most delicious adventure possible: YOU. Customization: Are you looking for homebrew or custom campaigns? I'd be happy to workshop something with you & your friends to create the campaign of your dreams. I may ask a higher rate than listed because of the increased work required. I'm looking forward to playing with you!

How Yaz runs games

As GM Dad to kids aged 6-13, I know the importance of ensuring everyone at my table (including me!) has a chance to enjoy the game in their own unique way. As a DM to adults, I focus on ensuring everyone feels welcomed, that boundaries are respected, and that the game we play is tailored to the players' desires. My style: each session should have some great combat, nuggets tied to backstories, unique social encounters with memorable NPCs, fantastical locations to delight the imagined senses, and immersive music and ambiance. New players welcomed and will be supported. You're only a newbie for a little bit! Story > Rules: The only way to win a TTRPG is to have fun!
