About me
🌈 5'11" 37 she/they 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 🩸 6'2" 400 Ancient/Land in DnD 🧛♀️ You can expect: 💅HOT GOSSIP at pre-game chat. 😰RECREATIONAL ANXIETY during horror sessions. 💗HEART PALPS when NPCs flirt. 💪🏻DRAMATIC combat encounters. 😍EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE VILLAINS everywhere. Hey y'all! I'm returning to pro GMing after a brief side quest in the real world. I work from home as a game designer, writer, and professional yapper. Just as I build my professional teams to be diverse and inclusive, I expect those vibes in my community so that I foster the best possible experience in roleplaying. My players go from complete strangers to good internet buddies over the months they spend together and if that's what you're looking for - then one of my tables is for you. Many of my campaigns range in length from 1-2 years, ideally. Often when completing a campaign my tables choose another game or campaign to continue gaming together. I do not use ChatGPT, MidJourney, or other automation (theft) platforms. ECONOMIC PAIN RELIEF: My tables are built to last despite the growing economic uncertainty. Typically I can sustain 1 or 2 long-term players at the table who have recently had a life changing event. Reduced fee or free seats for those suffering from economic upheaval are available on request for my players to keep the group together. We're all trying our best.
GM Style
Friday's game style: Combat: ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ Exploration: 🔍🔍 Humor: 😂😂😂😂 Puzzles: 🧩🧩 Social: 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Romance: 💖💖💖💖💖 (consenting) What to expect: 🎭 Colorful NPC interactions. 🎶 Curated music and ambience. ⚔️ Challenging tactical combat. 🤗 A safe and accepting environment for those with disability, neurodivergence, & the queer community. 💥 Animated maps for your experience on Foundry VTT for both combat & roleplay. 💪 Lots of help if you're a newbie! (I care about enthusiasm rather than experience in players.)

The presentation given by isFriday was fantastic. Full of extremely helpful and useful tips that I'm absolutely going to use for advertising my own games.

Made a topic complex and boring into a fun, easy, accessible process. Rarely does knowledge come so effortlessly.

Joined Friday's Ad workshop for GMs last week. Took notes, looked at my ad, and felt ashamed to share it to be reviewed. Worked on my ad for a week. Joined Friday's workshop again. Friday said my ad was fine. THAT'S SUCCESS RIGHT THERE, FOLKS! Thank you, Friday! I feel much more confident on writing great ads now.

This was my first time playing with strangers, and it went so well! isFriday was great at leading us through Daggerheart, and brought a lot of creativity to the session. There was a perfect balance between comedy and consequence.
