About me

Hey there! I'm a Game Master and Tabletop Game Designer based in Kansas City with over fifteen years of experience bringing stories to life for all kinds of people. My games are focused on 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons and are text-based on Discord. I love using Alchemy and Beyond maps to make things even more immersive. I’ve got a Master Tier subscription and access to all content on DnDBeyond, so you’ll have everything you need to dive into your adventure. I enjoy crafting narrative-focused, player-driven experiences and am here to help you tell your character’s story in an open-world environment. **Why text-based?** I run text-based games due to their flexibility and accessibility. They allow participants to engage at their own pace, making them ideal for players with busy schedules or intermittent activities who cannot commit to a standard sit-down session. The nature of text-based communication caters to players with speech impediments, hearing loss, blindness, and neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and Autism. For neurodivergent players, the format allows for more control over the timing and environment in which they engage, reducing stress and sensory overload that can occur in traditional sessions. Text-based gameplay can also be adapted with assistive technologies such as screen readers, and players have the opportunity to carefully craft their responses, ensuring they can fully express their characters and thoughts. As a DM who experiences partial deafness and neurodivergence, I feel inclined to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can participate and experience the magic of tabletop storytelling.

GM Style

My style focuses on player agency while utilizing the rules to ensure consistency and fair play. No stress when discussing characters or actions and you’re unsure how to accomplish what you have envisioned! Hop into our out-of-character chat and explain what you’re trying to achieve. We will work together to make it happen without taking away from other players, performing major alterations to the rules, or creating an inconsistent experience.
