About me

Hi there! I'm a Dungeons and Dragons DM with 25 years of experience in the game, from 2.0 through Pathfinder and 5e! I enjoy crafting intricate worlds from scratch, and watching my players blossom into the characters of their dreams. I follow the rule of cool, and I allow homebrew everything, so long as it isn't game breaking.

GM Style

I run a safe table, always. My sessions zero go over not only character creation, character mechanics, and sample combat, but also a note of each player's pronouns, triggers, limits, and gaming preferences. In the rare instance where I have a player with a severe trigger, everyone is made aware of the limit (without naming names of course), and anyone who violates it is removed from the table immediately. With regards to a balance of politics, combat, and RP, I leave that up to the players. I do my best to accomodate everyone, but of course that is not always possible. I am very open to homebrew, but reserve the final say on whether something will break MY game, since I have the background notes that players do not. Other than that, I don't have voices cause I'm 'tistic, but I do use music and background tracks to help the immersion factor. Mostly though, I want to create an amazing collaborative story with my players. I believe if you are having to cheat to win, you aren't playing correctly. I also enjoy giving enrichment bonuses like character themed dice and fanart :)

Ryn is obviously a very experienced GM. Plus, her homebrew is amazing and I am so excited to get to play in her group. I feel really lucky to have stumbled upon her game. The first session is supposed to be awkward as you are getting to know one another but to be honest this game was a breeze. I felt safe and ready to play within minutes.
