About Hummalou
Greetings, salutations and andaran atishan everyone! I am Emma, or Hummalou on the internet. I have been running games for 8 years, and for a large portion of that I have been running games that are streamed on Twitch. By day I am a high school teacher and I like to take the patience, humour and inclusive practice I use in my day job to the tables that I run. I am passionate about collaborative storytelling and I am at my best when running games where we laugh, cry and punch oppressive forces in the face! I will always encourage the rule of cool, feeling epic, doing it for the bit and having fun being the highest priority. I take game systems and deconstruct them a little to remove some of the crunch to instead focus on the stories we are weaving together in a more cinematic way. I have always prided myself in creating safe spaces for my players, your comfort and happiness is key. I run inclusive and welcoming spaces, for any and all marginalized people.

My favorite system of all Time is
Ten Candles! Despite running the Dragon Age ttrpg more than any other, I always take the most joy in running Ten Candles as the roleplay is always so tense and immersive.
How Hummalou runs games
As a GM, I lean into character driven storylines and encourage RP heavy games where the relationships between the characters are just as important as the story unfolding. I have been told that my worlds always feel fleshed out and well lived in, with compelling NPCs. I enjoy immersive world building and take what my players offer up in their characters and build the world around them where their decisions and actions matter. Players should expect to feel safe, respected and supported at my tables. I want you to leave each session feeling inspired! Want to check out the games I have GM'd or played in?
