About Harlequin Grey

Hey, call me Harley! I’ve been playing TTRPGs (mostly Dungeons&Dragons) for over a decade, and really love helping others learn to play a game that’s has been such a big part of my life. I love the narrative/storytelling aspect of these games, and honestly I build characters just for fun. I have a TON that have never been played. While I do have one Horror campaign in the works, most of my games are Learn to Play modules (something written by Wizard of the Coast). I’d love to help you learn to play Dungeons&Dragons!! Welcome to the Chaos. Let’s play some D&D.

I became a GM because

I’d wanted to for a while, and I finally decided that the best way to learn was to throw myself in the deep end and run a campaign for my friends

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

Dungeons&Dragons 5E Pathfinder 2E Savage Worlds

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Energetic Chaotic (in a good way) Supportive

How Harlequin Grey runs games

Think "Brennan Lee Mulligan when he's crashing out on Game Changer" with a healthy dose "Tim Curry in the last 30 minutes of Clue" mixed in In all seriousness,I love role playing, and I make custom maps for every session!! Sometimes just for fun. I provide puzzles, NPCs with a variety of voices, and I’m flexible with almost everything so you can get the experience you’re looking for.

I deal with rules issues by...

Making a ruling for that session, then looking it up afterwards to ensure I will have the answer in the future

Rules are...

There for structure. They can be bent and changed within reason, but shouldn't be completely thrown out

When it comes to voices

I have my defaults, but I LOVE finding new voices and accents to use with different NPCs

Harlequin Grey's ideal table

I like people who communicate, cooperate, and respect boundaries. I love playing with people who think outside the box, and feel comfortable experimenting and trying new or "out there" things.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Wants to try something new!! Maybe it won’t work, but a willingness to explore and try things is invaluable at my tables

I think metagaming...

Is sometimes unintentional. It has uses for players in the sense that they’re the writers of their characters and writers always have extra knowledge, but it should never be used in-game to influence an outcome or situation
