About Harlow

Creating stories is my main form of entertainment! As a child, my nose was always stuck in a book and I began writing my own tales as soon as I could. I began my tabletop gaming experience at 16 with a barely holding on Warhammer Fantasy guide and a few friends. A few years later, I was playing D&D 3.5e awaiting for 4e to be released. Now I run a pirate epic tale within a homebrew world utilizing 5e mechanics with a few friends, but the world has many stores to tell. When I am not playing tabletop games, I am cuddling up with my great pyrenees and two orange cats and still reading those epic fantasy books.

I got started GMing...

when my partner at the time was tired of being the "forever dm" and wanted a break. Little did they know I would take it and run ;P

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

1. Detail-Oriented 2. Flexible 3. Open-Minded

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

Probably doing some kind of craft project while listening to an audiobook. Lately the craft has been making a dragon scale armor from yarn and listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl.

How Harlow runs games

I prefer to flesh out a story with my players, but sometimes you just have to let the team be murder-hobos and see what happens. I am quick on my feet and always interested to see what is going to happen next. If you give me a background for your character, you best believe its coming into the story...may not be the way you are happy with, but it will be there! It is never my intention to kill off the whole team. I just let the dice decide!

I deal with rules issues by...

having a conversation about them. I wont claim to know them all, and with some homebrew things they get a little dicey. I like the idea of the table agreeing to a rule if it benefits EVERYONE. So please speak up!

When it comes to voices

I may not have the best range, so I might enlist the power of you the player to help me out! If you have any talents with voice, let me know so I can add you in as a NPC sometimes as well! Dont worry too much, I'll give you the words!

Harlow's ideal table

Featured Prompts

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

new fantasy worlds with many stories to tell! I pride myself in telling a story that doesnt come from the normal books. Almost every place in my worlds have a story or a meaning as to why your characters are coming across them. So please, respect the process and enjoy the fun!

I love it when a player

gives me a backstory for thier character! I think adding a story to a story makes for an amazing experience not just for the player, but adds some extra creativity for me. So please feel free to send me your ideas!

My table is not the place for...

the lone wolf. If you start off with the mentality that your character is a lone person with no desire to be a part of a team, we will not get too far. I enjoy banter among the players and although they do not have to know each other, I do not like it when people are left out!
