About Kat
Hi friends! My name is Kat, and I am a published author, video game narrative designer, and professional D&D game master. My debut novel, Good People, is forthcoming from Simon & Schuster in 2027. I’ve also worked as a writer for a South Korean video game developer. My game writing credits include Delabs Games’ Rumble Racing Star, Space Frontier, and other titles launched by Delabs Games’ parent company 4:33 Creative Lab. When it comes to D&D, I use my professional writing and game design experience to create immersive, custom stories with unique game loops. In addition to being a game master and professional writer, I’ve taught creative writing at the University of South Florida, and I use my college-level teaching experience to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for any new players at my tables.

How Kat runs games
As a comedy writer, I work to create a story-centric comedic experience for my players. Our games balance high-stakes combat with immersive roleplay that will have you laughing both in and out of character. While a comedic tone and a balanced roleplay-combat experience are my strengths, my background as a novelist and teacher enables me to read the room and shift the game’s tone or play style toward whatever is most exciting for everyone at our table. In addition to my professional experience as a writer, I am also a game designer. Having worked for a video game developer in South Korea, I learned game design firsthand from talented game directors, and I work to include unique minigames and mechanics that enrich the 5th edition system. If you’re looking for a game with a welcoming community and captivating storytelling, join one of our games today.
