GM Style

❤️ Beth's games are ALWAYS inclusive & beginner-friendly. ❤️ Games are typically inspired by horror & mystery. ❤️ Players form long-term friendships with each other & with Beth based on memorable table experiences. ❤️ Combat isn't traditionally crunchy but much more narratively driven and has a strong story impact. ❤️ Beth prefers narrative and theater of the mind but has plenty of experience with epic dungeon crawls. ❤️ Each game implements the use of beautiful artwork & digital maps. ❤️ Player input and ideas are top priority. ❤️ Safety tools are implemented and enforced before our first session. ❤️ Games are player-character and roleplay-focused. ❤️ Beth doesn't shy away from NPC voices.
