About me

I love playing d&d. I will try any game if I can and I enjoy being creative with my characters and npc's. Being able to tell a story that immerses people is such an awesome feeling. I want my players to get into the story and lose themselves in another world for a few hours. I've been dming for close to 2 years, probably more by the time you read this. Originally starting with one shots on the weekends, then I moved up to running almost daily games on a west march server. Throughout this time I developed a homebrew game that I would love for others to experience. I enjoy bringing different elements to my games as well, keeping it exciting and interesting for all players.

GM Style

I love a mix of rp and combat. I really enjoy thinking outside the box and when my players test my skills as a gm.

Fantastic GM and a incredible world builder. She puts a lot of effort into her games and always responds in a timely manner for play by post games :)

The best DM I have ever been with. She does so much work for you and helps and her games are very entertaining. Like I said best DM I have had in over fifteen year.

⭐ 5 Stars ⭐ I’ve had the absolute pleasure of playing a solo Play-by-Post (PBP) game with Stephanie as my Dungeon Master, and I can’t recommend her enough! Her storytelling is nothing short of spectacular, weaving together intricate plots that feel alive with depth and excitement. The world she’s built is so immersive and richly detailed that I find myself lost in it long after our sessions have ended. Every NPC feels like a fully realized individual, each with their own personality, backstory, and motivations. It’s clear that Stephanie has put a tremendous amount of thought and care into crafting this world and its inhabitants. Her communication is top-notch, always prompt, clear, and incredibly encouraging. She ensures that the game flows smoothly while making me feel like my character’s choices genuinely matter. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, Stephanie’s approach to storytelling and her mastery of world-building will keep you engaged and excited to play. She’s truly a phenomenal DM, and I’m so grateful to be on this adventure with her!

I have been a player in Stephanie's game for a bit now, and she has been a great DM. She is incredibly consistent, allowing player choice and really just working with the flow of the game greatly. The way she runs the game is not overwhelming for players. She constantly checks in to ensure pacing is still good for everyone. Overall, I would highly recommend her as a DM.

She’s an engaging Dm who really knows her stuff. Doing a campaign set in an anime and she took the time to watch the show, the manga and the lore. I feel like I’m actually there. The characters feel fleshed out and the battles are amazing. Making you feel powerful and strategic. She’s fair in her rules and has great response time for our play by post game. I recommend her to anyone new to the game or otherwise, you will be left astounded by her level of crafting a story and deep characters.

Fantastic DM, very responsive and sets a fantastic pace which is hard to do in pbp. An amazing world builder and story teller, she masterfully takes players ideas and backstories and weaves them into the narrative seamlessly. Keeps the story fun and engaging even when everyone branches off and does their own thing which I know must be hard in this format as well but you’d never know by the way she handles it. Easily my favorite campaign I’ve played in this way and even when I’ve had to cut back on other campaigns for budget reasons I’ve kept this one going. 10/10 would recommend every single time.
