About Laura
🏳️🌈 I started playing D&D 4 years ago and it immediately became my passion. I’ve been GMing for about two years now, both in person and online. All I want is more D&D in my life! My table is welcoming, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ friendly. I want everyone to feel safe, respected, and excited to show up and play. Whether you’re newer to the game or very experienced, my goal is to create a collaborative space where we can tell a good story together. A small but important thing: I want to use my GM earnings to buy and share more content on D&D Beyond so my players have access to more options and resources.

I got started GMing...
because I was too excited about D&D to just play one character for a long time! I wanted to experiment with all kinds of builds and personalities, and learn everything I could about the game. I’ve since learned that I truly love guiding players through the story we’re creating!
How Laura runs games
I’m a story-driven GM who really enjoys building worlds with my players and watching their characters become part of them. My style leans narrative-first with a comfortable, rules-medium approach. I care about the mechanics, but I care more about the story we’re telling together. I especially love tying character backstories into the world so that what’s happening in the campaign actually matters to who your character is, not just what they can do. That said, I love to include high-stakes combat because I believe that real risks make combat more exciting and compelling. I’m very inspired by the tone and world building of Critical Role: rich settings, layered NPCs, political and social threads beneath the surface, and room for emotional moments alongside humor and adventure.

When it comes to voices
I’m always working on improving things like NPC voices. I’m no voice actor, but that means you can feel comfortable experimenting with voices too! Accents and special voices are always welcome but there is no pressure to use one.
Laura's ideal table
My ideal table is made up of curious, collaborative players who enjoy telling a story together just as much as rolling dice. If you like getting invested in your character, reacting to the world around you, and helping build a shared narrative with the group, you’ll feel right at home here. The vibe at my table is welcoming, respectful, and story-forward. We balance roleplay, exploration, and combat, and I encourage players to engage with NPCs, factions, and each other. Not just as quest-givers or obstacles, but as parts of a living world. I love when players bring creative ideas, emotional depth, and humor to the story. This table is a great fit for: • Players who enjoy playing out character arcs • New players who are excited to learn in a friendly, low-pressure environment • Experienced players who want meaningful choices and narrative impact It may be less ideal for players who prefer purely tactical, combat-only play or a competitive, adversarial table style. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable taking creative risks, sharing the spotlight, and helping each other shine. Above all, I aim to foster a table that feels like a found family. A group of heroes (and occasionally lovable troublemakers) navigating a dangerous world together, laughing often, and creating a story we’ll remember long after the campaign ends.
