About Kysa
Hey there! 👋🏾 I'm Kaos, an elder millennial DM in the midwest US and a roleplay game enthusiast. I've been playing mostly Dungeons & Dragons and White Wolf for a little over twenty years. Initially, I started in the LArp realm of things, but after taking an arrow to the knee (I couldn't resist, ok! 🤣), table top is where it's been for me. I'm a relatively brand new DM since most of my play experience has been exclusively for family and close friends. After far too many frustrations with the corporate grind and the best sort of peer pressure, I'm looking forward to bringing my play style and stories to the digital world. The nerd runs deep in my veins, so I love to get lost in a myriad of different genres and let them influence my games in a way that makes me want to turn sessions into screenplays. If you like a hint of anime, a touch of Tolkien, and a dash of the diabolical, I'm your Game Mistress. The majority of my games are currently prepped to be run on Roll20, but with enough prodding and patience, I can be convinced to fire up Foundry. While modules are the bread and butter of the RPG world, I'm a sucker for a nice heady homebrew. Personally, I'm more likely to craft a story that is in it for the long haul with my players. My goal is to give you an adventure Bilbo himself would be jealous of; and while combat is an inevitable part of any story, I like to focus on the narrative and development rather than endless waves of enemies. (Unless of course it’s a part of the storyline!) The beauty of my games will often rely on teamwork and remembering that players are a cast. While everyone is the star of their own story, collaboration makes the story that much sweeter! Though, if you are wanting a world all your own where you can solo level your way into greatness, send me a message and we can talk about what your personal epica looks like. My style of running a game is based on one rule: We're all adults here. I try to stick to being your narrator and plot device as much as possible and let the players show me the type of story they are building in my world. And while in-character drama is always delicious, I don't stand for the OOC kind. We’re grown ups, remember? Everyone is welcome at my table as long as they are here to have a good time. Pass the vibe check, please. 🙏🏾 If you are interested in any of my games, I do require we have an initial chat over Discord to make sure the game style is right for you! The last thing I want to happen is for you to get a seat at the table and then learn that where the story is headed isn't something for you. I put a huge amount of work and research into building any games I run and want to make sure you can enjoy it to the fullest. Things you can expect playing with me are: ✨ Help with creating your character through a free Session Zero. ✨A near endless collection of maps sourced from players just like you that are also artists. ✨ Roll20 Macros to help even the newest of players hit the ground running. ✨ Roll20 APIs to make our lives easier in gameplay. ✨ Full immersion via soundscapes. ✨ Camera up or not; it's up to you! ✨ A DM that's your biggest fan. If you have any questions, are interested in any of my adventures or are curious of upcoming games, toss a message my way. Thanks for checking me out and see you at the table! -- 🧙🏾 Kaos

How Kysa runs games
My goal as a DM is simple: to create a world you can lose yourself in, where your choices matter, and where every player gets a chance to be the hero. I see myself as a facilitator, setting the stage and guiding the narrative, but ultimately, it's the players who bring the story to life. Here's how I bring that vision to the table: 🌟 Roleplay: High I'm a sucker for a good story, and I believe roleplay is the heart and soul of any RPG. Expect opportunities for deep character interaction, even in the midst of combat. I love bringing NPCs to life, giving each one a unique personality and motivation. My greatest joy is watching players collaborate, weave their own narratives, and surprise me with their creativity. ⚔️ Combat: Mid to High Adventure often leads to conflict, and my games are no exception. But combat is more than just rolling dice; it's a chance for tactical thinking, heroic moments, and dramatic tension. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or prefer to support your fellow adventurers, there's a place for you on the battlefield. 🤔 Puzzles/Politics: It's Up to You! I love incorporating puzzles and political intrigue into my games, but I also believe in tailoring the experience to my players. If riddles and courtly drama aren't your cup of tea, we can focus on other aspects of the game. The world is yours to explore – let's build it together! Ultimately, I believe in creating a fun, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable contributing. If this sounds like the kind of game you're looking for, let's chat! I'm always excited to meet new players and embark on epic adventures.
