About me

Hiya Folx, I'm Morri! I'm also known as the Loremother around the interwebs. In addition to pro-GMing, I'm also a game designer. I even worked on a few D&D books and worked on the team that developed EN Publishing's Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition. I'm back on StartPlaying after taking some time off to focus on myself, my family and work on some other fun projects. I love tapping into my theater background when I GM and making the world feel alive. I am a bit of a Forgotten Realms lore nerd (one of the major D&D settings, if you've seen the D&D movie, that's in the Realms) but am comfortable running in any of the other 5th edition D&D settings (Ravenloft, Ravnica, Theros, Exandria, Eberron). I love teaching new people how to play tabletop roleplaying games and creating spaces where people can feel free and safe to express themselves.

GM Style

I am a GM who loves it when the mechanics and story work together seamlessly. Although, I prefer running theater of the mind I provide maps and other visual aids as needed throughout the session(s). My preferred VTT is the lightweight easy to use Owlbear Rodeo. My professional background is as a worldbuilder and I have been praised for my original characters, monsters, and settings by players in my games and professionals in the TRPG industry.

I have had 3 sessions so far. I am scheduled for a 4th in the same game. I just booked another 2 session game with them. I am really enjoying this and look forward to Fridays to play DnD. As a intro player, they have been very helpful being able to show how to use the electronic tools and how different features and builds work. They are also really creative with allowing players to do what they want to do. One feature I have come to love is that they're encouraging of the roleplaying aspect. This has helped to make the whole experience rather immersive.

I gotta say Morri is a super cool and fun dm! We did a one shot quest that they actually wrote! It couldn’t of been more fun! They do different voices, accents, mannerisms, and ways of speaking for each character to make them feel real. They are great at keeping things moving and they are wonderful at “yes and”! For instance I wanted to try a very unconventional way to escape an avalanche and they went with it! Suffice to say that I couldn’t of had a better time! Definitely recommend Morri!!!

Morri is an awesome DM that is able to keep things going for the entire session. I really enjoyed the roleplay and game mechanics presented in the adventure too. I had a great time and would definitely play again.

I have been trying to get my feet wet in a good way in TTRPG gaming. I have attempted to learn the core rulebooks and mechanics to host my own, I have tried to sit in on an unexperienced dm's game, I have watched tons of how to videos and gaming sessions. Morri did such a great job of allowing for simple and complex ideas to play out in a very safe space type of atmosphere. I would love to follow her through a campaign in the near future. The experience was fun VERY worthwhile.

This was my first time playing D&D and I had a wonderful time. Morri was so patient and helped everyone as we got used to the game. I had a wonderful time!

Morri was such an amazing and patient GM. She did an incredible job with making sure everyone participated and had a voice throughout the game. No question or thought was off the table. She did a wonderful job at figuring out a way to get a player's thought process to come to fruition. She did an incredible job of working on the fly and not missing a beat after our group threw her for a loop (we had no idea). I highly recommend Morri for your next adventure.
