Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

by writing a 5 year long level 1-20 D&D 5e campaign. We never reached the final boss but we got shockingly close.

My favorite books are

The Locked Tomb series! In general I love fantasy or sci-fi with the occasional romance or light novel for fluff.

My favorite system of all Time is

Monster Hearts 2, but only when done in person on pen and paper. Over the internet it's Pathfinder 2e.

How Olivia runs games

Being at my table means being subjected to my stubborn dedication to finding a voice for every NPC you interact with and dragging you kicking and screaming into the story. I love building narratives out of character choice and consequence, so you will find the story feels like it organically evolves as you interact with the world. I write horror and mysteries that weave together every character at the table and bring them to life with as much mixed media as I can cobble into one foundry server.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Making a quick call and adjusting later.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

The Wachowski sisters or JJ Abrams probably.

My games focus on...

Character moments and drawing together a loose fitting of disparate heroes into a cohesive group. I like to build a narrative up with increasing stakes to a fun and satisfying thematic conclusion.
