About me
Gamer since the early '80s. Board games, card games, video games, role-playing games, I love them all. I enjoy hosting/running games and game nights, making people feel comfortable, happy, and welcome. With GMing, in particular, I like to assist my players in reaching their goals, creating characters they enjoy playing, and handing out loot and bonuses, even beyond what a pre-written adventure might call for. I enjoy the camaraderie of a group of adventurers working together to heroically achieve goals and become friends, both at and away from the 'table.'
GM Style
I love all aspects of role-playing, but I do not enjoy playing evil characters or running evil characters. It's one thing to be a troubled hero, a la Loki, but I don't enjoy being bad for the sake of being bad. Combat is a lot of fun though it can be tedious, so I appreciate it when people can at least have an idea of what they'd like to do or questions they'd like to ask so we can keep things moving. I enjoy the back and forth between PCs and between PCs and NPCs, but I am not great at voices or accents. I am pretty quick at coming up with conversation or information on the fly, however, and hope that can make up for my shortcomings. I love rewarding my PCs with bonuses such as Hero Points, Luck Points, etc., a small amount of XP when not using Milestones, and so on.

Rule of Cool
I’ve played TTRPGs with Kristin on and off for over ten years, and she’s always been a fantastic DM. Her games are super creative, fun, and inclusive. She’s great at balancing rules with the “rule of cool,” and she keeps things moving without making anyone feel left out or overwhelmed. She’s also open to questions or rule discussions, which makes the game feel collaborative instead of rigid. Noob or veteran player, you’ll have a great time at her table.
I played in a one-shot DM’d by Kristin, and it was an awesome time. She’s super flexible and great at rolling with player ideas. At one point, my bugbear wanted to flavor a shove as picking up a guy and hurling him into another enemy. Instead of shutting it down, she lit up and made it happen. It was one of the best moments of the game. She keeps things fun and fast-paced, but still knows the rules well enough to make it all work. If you like DMs who say “yes, and…” and know how to turn chaos into cool scenes, she’s the real deal.
