About me

Hello, misadventurers! You may recognize me as the former Dungeon Master at the family-friendly d20 Dames podcast. When I'm not running games, I'm a freelance game designer and author at my owner-operated company, Steampunk Unicorn Studio. I've worked for clients such as Hasbro, Larian Studios, Wizards of the Coast, MCDM, Hit Point Press, and Roll & Play Press, and my game credits include: Blood in Baldur’s Gate, Betrayal at House on the Hill 3E, HeroQuest, and Divinity Original Sin the Board Game. In the sphere of TTRPG actual play, I was the Dungeon Master on the family-friendly podcast d20 Dames, and I've played numerous roles, most notably as The Countess on Adventure They Wrote. My latest book, How to Be More D&D (Running Press Books), is an officially licensed publication through Dungeons & Dragons (Wizards of the Coast). I was also a Creative Laureate with the Storytelling Collective in 2022.

GM Style

What you'll get at my table is cozy, family-friendly content. My games are social and exploration heavy, with low combat. I prefer the words over swords style of conflict resolution but that doesn't necessarily mean "no combat." Occasionally, I'll also run scarier gothic horror content. Unless otherwise requested, most of my games take place in the theater of the mind rather than making extensive use of online tools. Although I love telling stories using character voices, there's no expectation for players to do so. Thinking outside the box is always welcome at my table and I embrace the "rule of cool" within reason.
