About me

Transformers Turbo-Nerd hoping to share the wonders of pretending to be a giant alien robot! Or an elf, if that's your thing. Female game master, LGBTQ+. Primarily running the Transformers Roleplaying Game, but DnD5e, Power Rangers Roleplaying Game, Witcher Roleplaying Game, and Vampire the Masquerade are available upon request. Prices negotiable based on number of players.

GM Style

I have a great deal of knowledge on the lore of the Transformers world, as well as the colorful cast of NPCs to be found within it. I will let you get away with anything if your plan is clever enough. Rule of cool comes before rules as written. Combat is NOT crunchy but there will be plenty of it.

Katy created a fun, over-the-top Christmas-themed one-shot for my holiday party. She was an excellent storyteller, and very patient with those of us who had little or no experience. We loved the custom scenery that she created for the layout, repleat with a candy cane forest, mountains of icing, dancing snow fairies and a dragon hoarding a pile of chocolate gold coins which we got to keep! We also loved the carefully selected soundtrack she made, and the way she gave life and personality to her NPCs As the host, I greatly appreciated the way in which she engaged each player and drew them into the story. I will definitely hire her again!!!!

A great intro to the game. The kids thought it was very immersive.

Katy took the (very!) rough ideas we had for the kind of setting we were interested in and turned them into a great, gripping session. Almost all of us were completely new to tabletop roleplaying and she did a great job of helping us with questions over character creation ahead of the session, and guiding us through the mechanics in the session itself. She created a great atmosphere, where those of us who were nervous/self-conscious of doing this for the first Time quickly got absorbed into the story. We were all buzzing from the session and can’t wait to continue on!

Katy's knowledge of lore, creative storytelling and game management led to another fantastic game. Cannot recommend her enough

I'd select more tags, but I'm unfortunately stuck with just 3. Katy worked well with the beginners in our group(myself included) and encouraged players to think of creative solutions to their problems. She also seemed very knowledgeable about the game, which allowed her to better assist newer players and facilitate creative solutions. On top of all that, her server is a very inclusive place, which is fantastic. A great session and a great community. Also, she used voice modulation to help voice characters, which is just a really nice touch for a Transformer's campaign.
