About Grendy

My name is Grendy, and I’ve been running tabletop RPGs since the 90s. I specialize in immersive, player-driven campaigns where exploration, mystery, and meaningful choices define the story. My goal is to give you a world that feels alive—one you can push against, question, and transform through your actions. As a genderqueer and neurodiverse GM, I create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every player can engage comfortably and confidently. I use consent tools and clear communication to make sure the table feels safe for everyone. I run long-term campaigns that grow with your group, emphasizing emergent storytelling, morally complex scenarios, and tactical, narratively relevant combat. Whether you're brand new or deeply experienced, my fluency and adaptability ensure a smooth, engaging experience from session to session. I’m based in Pacific Time (GMT-7), with flexible scheduling and pricing for groups.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

- D&D 5e 2024 - for engaging, strategic, pitched battles. - Cypher System - for running discovery-based plots with an exploratory-fiction flourish. - Delta Green - my favorite horror system allows for great, meaningful explorations of the darker parts of the human psyche.

My favorite system of all Time is

Cypher system. It's a perfect do-anything system for player-driven exploration that emphasizes fluidity, allowing ideas to flow from the mind to the table in literal seconds.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Working on visual art or writing music or writing RPG modules.

How Grendy runs games

Your ideas matter. Your choices reshape the world. I build campaigns around player agency, open-ended problem-solving, and the freedom to explore off the expected path—whether we’re running a published module or a custom story. New campaign? You’ll get a full Session Zero. One-shots or ongoing arcs? We’ll handle expectations and safety in private chat. What I Bring to the Table 🏔️ Cinematic Worldbuilding - Highly visual narration and vivid scene-setting - Tough moral and ethical conflicts woven into exploration - Mystery, sword & sorcery, weird horror, and player-driven discovery 🎭 Immersive Roleplay - Distinct, voice-acted NPCs with motives, flaws, and agency - Scenes that respond naturally to your choices - Strong focus on character arcs and emotional stakes 🎲 Tactical, Meaningful Combat -Multi-phase encounters with shifting terrain and environmental effects - Combat that matters to the story—not filler - Strategic challenges integrated with puzzles and exploration 🖥️ Premium VTT Experience All games run through FoundryVTT, with: - Custom art, tokens, and visual assets that I personally create - Animated maps and atmospheric effects - A curated library of instrumental music that shifts with the mood - Handpicked quality-of-life modules for smooth, intuitive play The result is a table that feels fluid, cinematic, and alive.

Grendy's ideal table

My ideal table is one where everyone is respectful and mindful of each other, and eager to make opportunities for eachother to roleplay. Each player feels comfortable to roleplay even the most absurd or awkward scenarios without fear of judgement or reprisal. Players are focused on the ongoing plot and avoid pop-cultural references.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Stories that emerge from player choice and the random chance of the dice.

I love it when a player

Builds their character and motivations with respect to the details of the campaign and the rest of the party. Roleplaying is strongest when characters have diagetic impetus for their actions!

My table is not the place for...

Intra-party conflict or personal rivalry. Consent is required from all players for any action that would interfere with other party members' plans.
