GM Style

Jenni’s specialities reside in multi-genre, rich storytelling, voice acting, roleplaying, cosplay, and immersive gameplay. Jenni prefers the theatre-of-the-mind, so as to ensure the player stays within the story unfolding. The campaigns and one-shots you will play with her will have an equal balance between combat and gameplay/storytelling in order to feel like it’s a part of the story unfolding, verses something forced. Rules are guidelines at her table, so do not be afraid to ask to try something that maybe bends them a little or to create something anew! The players at her table go away with an experience they will love and never forget, for the stories you forge, together, will remain within your heart as time goes on. Jenni is also passionate about bringing variety and inclusion to the table. LGBTQIA+ ally, advocate, and friend, she strives to make the players comfortable at the table as we navigate the subtleties of our stories that unfold. Jenni will also do everything in her power to ensure the gameplay is as accessible as possible. Players will receive a pre-campaign survey to ensure comfort levels with topics of gameplay for each new campaign. This way you, the player, will be at ease and can feel free to dive in and enjoy the game. The goal of every game session with her players is simply to have one thing: fun.
