About me
My name is Grendy, and I've been a Game Master since the 90s when I fell in love with tabletop roleplaying. Crafting immersive experiences for players brings me great joy, and I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone can fully engage in the game. I identify as genderqueer and neurodiverse, and strive ensure that my table is a safe and affirming space for all players. I'm committed to helping you and your group achieve your gaming goals, creating memorable adventures together in a welcoming environment. I'm in the Pacific Daylight Time zone (GMT -7) and excited to collaborate on your next tabletop adventure! ✨Got a request?

GM Style
My best asset is an extensive history of gamemastering. My approach to roleplaying is to create a complete experience for my players. The problem of "boring travel" is solved with a system of hex-crawling that allows for organic character growth, vivid lyrical immersion, and emergent storytelling. As a result, my sessions are much more focused on mystery, exploration, and social encounters than a typical "hack and slash" campaigns; and because the story is driven by the player choices, we will often go off-road of the module (if we are even using one). I also voice-act most NPCs. As a result of this complete gaming experience, players at my tables are able to forge memories that will last a lifetime, to be recounted time and again! I look forward to gaming with you soon! 🌐I bring a complete, hand-crafted roleplaying experience with everything you need to fully immerse yourself, utilizing a huge array gaming assets that make each session with me run fluidly from scene to scene. ⚔️ Strategic combat is also a focus of my games! Combat with multiple phases, changing terrain, interesting custom creatures, and environmental effects make each combat unique. 🖥️ I have a beautiful online gaming space powered by FoundryVTT and a host of quality-of-life modules to ensure an immersive player experience. I make custom visual aids and have a large library of thematically curated instrumental music that plays through the Foundry, dynamically adapting to the mood of each scene. Cinematic: 😲 Intense, edge-of-your-seat action 🗣️ Memorable, living NPCs with minds of their own 🎙️ Dramatic, enthralling voice acting and roleplay 🎶 Curated atmosphere and instrumental musical accompaniment ⛰️ Visual storytelling: intricately crafted stories, vivid scenery, visceral descriptions 🎥 Action-packed gameplay with animated maps and tokens and lots of visual aids Collaborative: ⚙️ Got a cool idea or a special consideration? Let me know! 🤝 Players are partners in storytelling 📖 You shape the world with your choices and actions 🤔 Feedback encouraged and incorporated to improve user experience Custom: ⚒️ Craft items, build strongholds, etc. with mechanical benefits! 🪄 Homebrew and spell-craft a one-of-a-kind experience! 🗺️ Custom designed maps and artwork—even modules are unique Curious: 🧭 Discovery-focused scenarios that reward inquisition ❓ Confounding yet solvable mysteries ⚔️ Challenging, narratively-relevant strategic combat with puzzles Player Testimonials: 🗯️ "Grendell Is a blast to play with! a great role player and very funny!
