About me

Hello! I love playing Dungeons and Dragons and teaching people how to play. I have been playing for a couple of years and I have been a DM for a couple of years. It makes me happy to meet a lot of different people and watch them be creative and learning about themselves as they play D&D. I also have been learning how to play Call of Cthulhu!

GM Style

I love roleplaying and combat. I like to do character voices, but I am not a professional voice actor and I do not think voices are always needed for good roleplaying. I love to keep combat engaging for everyone and I try to keep up the pace of the story while also answering questions from my players. The story will depend on player style and speed. I do not like to railroad players, but I will give them helpful nudges if need be and multiple plot hooks or side quests.

Amazing DM! She is really inclusive, being warm and empathetic. She respects my pronouns. She responds to player feedback and asks at the end of every session what we liked "a star" and if there are any "wishes" we have. I love how she responded for the party's wish for a NPC to travel with us. Go Fruth! She turned him into a Warlock and gave him a great family because we had starred his appearance in our game and wished he could travel with us. Lastly, she knows the rules and does an awesome job of prepping for the games.

Lin is a great DM! She is flexible and fair and has made our Planescape campaign super fun and interesting! It feels immersive and like PCs have a lot of freedom. I've very much enjoyed playing with Lin!

Madeline did an amazing job running our Tomb of Annihilation Play-by-Post game. I appreciate the fun and inclusive environment provided. Madeline went above and beyond to assist new with PBP players learn the tools to play. That and the awesome story telling made for a great experience. I would definitely play in Madeline's games in the future and encourage all of you to give Madeline a try.

Madeline is a wonderful GM. She runs our Wild beyond the Witchlight play by post campaign. She does a great job describing what is going on with the aid of maps and screenshots, such that you really don't miss a VTT. She is very patient, and helps her players with any problems they are having.

Madeline is an amazing GM/DM. She makes every game exciting, engaging, and worth while. She always does her best to make every session enjoyable for each player by making everyone feel included and important. She's very helpful answering questions and giving advice (not meta gaming) to newer players. I'd suggest anyone wanting to play to have Madeline run their campaign. 🩷
