About me
As a player within D&D 5e, I always craved more. I needed more story, in-depth NPCs (with reasonable motivation!), politics and history that were fully fleshed out, and a generally more cohesive world. I recognized that it’s a lot to ask of a DM and began working at my own world right away. Now, having had a few campaigns under my belt, I feel comfortable creating interesting worlds (or fleshing out worlds that've already been made) that meet the needs of those who are RP oriented and driven by a good story. I have a relaxed play style as a DM and generally prefer running intrigue style campaigns but find that variety is the ✨spice✨ of life.
GM Style
I thoroughly enjoy role playing and high fantasy politics. While I understand the mechanics of the game, I find that the story, character interests, and interconnections of game play are what make the game worth playing. I (usually) don’t enforce mechanics that break immersion or get in the way of the story. However, I prefer to establish player preference of game play in session zero. I do create in-depth, 4K maps for each encounter and change in environment. I usually run my campaigns on TTS to make this more feasible but do have experience printing these maps. Additionally, I strive to engage each PC (using their backstory and game play choices) with the world, giving them something to grasp and care about. That being said, I value player autonomy and view it as your game.

Obscidion
Creative, Knowledgeable, accommodating, and VERY interesting. Every game is a new adventure that has me talking for WEEKS about the fun ways we have solved the problems GM throws at us, as well as they help keep us organized with a detailed activity log, many digital props and maps they create themselves to help with the visual aspect. As well as Kind, and a safe person to talk to.
Justin Huff
You can really tell the time she puts in to the game. Builds a great world, societal structures, everything! Very immersive and brings a sense true stakes to a game of fantasy! Never been happier with the games we’ve played!
Dan Sylum
This GM is fun, creative, articulate, inclusive, safe, and easy to understand in any situation. Their dedication and mastery of story telling makes the game so much more of an immersive experience. 1000/10
Danielle Hook
This GM is so animated and really has a way of pulling you into the world and making everything else disappear. If you are a beginner their patience and enthusiasm will make you feel confident and excited to start your journey, and they will guide you in a magical way.
Brendan
A fully fleshed out, dynamic world with unique political factions and actors all vying for prominence. Character backstories have a large influence on the motivations and function of NPCs and PCs alike. Fun, diverse cast of characters and a format that allows for both direct engagement with character profiles as well as drop in and drop out options make this campaign one of the most ambitious and engaging I've been involved in. This is failing to mention the amazing and varied maps the GM has created for each and every session from scratch, as well as the digital 3d figurines and setting which has been incorporated through TTS. Truly a great experience from the start, and over a year in is still going strong in the final act of the story.
