About me
I am an experienced Game Master, and amateur Vtuber. I have experience in a dozen systems, and am interested in running games both streamed and private. I have just finished a multi-year experiment in which I ran more than half a dozen D&D 5e campaigns in a shared world with many crossovers and some special events. It was a very amazing experience, and the created a rich homebrew setting to play in. However, I am moving away from D&D 5th edition in favor of other systems. My imagination is currently captivated by OSR style games, with a focus on using the Old School Essentials system, and the Worlds Without Number system. I am also a huge fan of GURPS, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Dungeon World, Fate, and enjoy Savage Worlds, Edge of the Empire, Legends of the Five Rings, and a variety of other PbtA systems as well, and am looking to try Pathfinder 2e more, and more ORS style systems.
GM Style
I have run many different styles of games. I've done gritty hex crawls where tracking food, water, and supplies is vital for survival, and bad planning could wipe a party. I've done games of heroic adventure where the PCs are larger than life. And I've done plenty in between. My old school games tend towards hex crawls. I haven't attempted to run a Megadungeon yet, but it is something I plan to do in the future. For my D&D5e games, I ran those games with a heavy emphasis on tactical combat. I designed all my "boss encounters" as custom monsters with mechanics the Players must learn to understand and manage in order to achieve victory. My GURPS games tend towards the cinematic side, with optional rules to enable larger than life characters, unless stated otherwise in the game description.

Creativity
Kaybe is one of the most extraordinary GMs I've ever played games with. Flexible, quick on her feet, and imaginative with the rules, she brings unexpectedly in depth boss mechanics together with opportunities for characters to achieve personal goals. Her games make use of a variety of rulesets that lot your characters leave their mark on the world around them.
Kaybe is a professional-grade GM with over a decade of experience building worlds from scratch with GURPS. Whatever concepts you are going for, whatever tone you want, Kaybe is flexible enough to accommodate your vision with the exact perfect homebrew game ruleset, custom Roll20 maps, music, and GMing style. Whether it be a complex, dark, and gritty hard fantasy story a la Witcher or a neon-bright and the breezy tale of big colorful heroes doing what they do best, Kaybe will find that special extra ingredient to take your game to the next level.
GURPS is a heavy game, and the DM did a really good job of working in the mechanics for the new player, getting them involved, and being good about things, while being decidedly fair about everything. I'm always impressed with someone who can do that. They also hit the ambience of the situations very well.
Kaybe has a clear voice and doesn't speak at a very fast pace, making them easy to understand even with low sound quality. They tend to prefer crunchier games with hard rules. They are morally opposed to fudging dice rolls, so if you like an honest GM, they should be right up your alley.
