About Fae

Hello! My name is Fae (She/They). I am a TTRPG writer and stream producer. In the past, I ran a Gothic Literature and Fantasy-inspired Steampunk campaign on Twitch called Frankenpunk which garnered some attention and had a small following. I've played D&D 5e for almost 5 years and like to flavor it to the genre (Homebrew is always welcome if not encouraged). As a storyteller, I love accommodating to newer players who might feel intimidated by TTRPGs. When I first started playing I was hesitant and daunted by the seemingly endless rules or guidelines but by playing regularly with friends, I not only learned the rules but how to break or bend them to my advantage (haha pun). I don't use or allow AI at my tables! Everything comes from my own head or else is heavily inspired by whatever media I am consuming at the time.

I became a GM because

I wanted to help my friends tell the story they were looking for AND I love to have secrets.

My favorite books are

Mistborn, Six of Crows, and Legends and Lattes

How Fae runs games

- A safe space for LGBTQIA+ players and those with disabilities. - A friendly environment for newer players who are looking to learn a bit more about DND and other TTRPG systems - Interesting NPC interactions with extensive dialogue and lore. - Combat Encounters that on occasion will require you to think outside of the box. - The use of consent sheet forms and other various player safety tools as well as check-ins before and after high stress sessions. - NO AI

I deal with rules issues by...

seeing what works best for the world we establish with our storytelling and then also checking in with players with where they are in their character's mindset.

I prep by

writing bullet points of what I expect to happen and rereading my notes on what happened in the previous session to make sure I can keep information of the story clear and certain.

Fae's ideal table

I think creative people with strong empathy do great at my table. Those who are curious and excited to tell a story as a group and are not afraid to engage in world building with me. I tend to lean more towards comedy but I still enjoy dramatic moments as much as the next GM. I love to meet characters where they are and where they're mindset is to better know how the world might rise to meet them. I think the players are meant to be the butterfly effect to the world I present and the momentum they put into it comes back to them.
