About me

I'm a long time player and GM with a passion for Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I love narrative-driven games, evocative worlds, and satisfying character arcs. I'm an aspiring author and I have a degree in Theater, Classical Civilizations, and Creative Writing. My table is always inclusive and LGBT+ friendly.

GM Style

Former players of mine have described my GMing style as "heavy on immersive experience... and lots of room for roleplay [with] intense and fun combat encounters," and "intense mystery factor and fully exploitable world [with a] strongly player-impacted plot [and] descriptive combat." I love a story with a strong narrative and well-drawn, heartfelt characters that engage with the world, the plot, and one another. I'm also an actor at heart, and love a fun character voice and dramatic RP. My D&D truth is that I care far more for the story that we'll tell together, and ensuring that everyone at my table is having an excellent time, than anything the dice, or the rules as written, might say.

Lucy is the BEST game master I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. Lucy really knows how to make a story perfectly immersive, creating such a fun and intense way of playing DND. I've been playing with Lucy for years, and I haven't been disappointed by her story telling skills or ability to put the player on the edge of their seat. You will not be let down by Lucy's DMing skills, I promise!

Lucy is an amazing DM! As one of her players she has taken excellent care of me and my players stories as well as incorporating them into her world. Which may I add her world is positively AMAZING!! She truly can transport you into another world when you play with her 🫶🏻

Lucy builds an entire world before her players reach the table. She has created entire religions and cultures with complex economic structures, intriguing and varied political dynamics, and natural and unnatural ecosystems. With such an alive world, the players have the opportunity to have very real relationships and impacts within the story. Players are given tough but realistic choices that grow their characters, substantive NPC relationships, and a tangible impact on their environments. Characters are challenged to meet their flaws and define their morals in the midst of often bitter, bleak circumstances. While she is a self-proclaimed wielder of the “consequence stick”, Lucy is also a fair and cooperative DM who is happy to coach newer players on how to maximize their characters, and to remind the party of information and plot points that may have last been relevant weeks or months ago. Complex plot threads are well interwoven to make an intriguing story where none of the pieces seem connected - until they do. Through a complex exploration of the party, NPCs, and setting, Lucy builds games where every detail matters, and every choice counts.

I've been playing a weekly campaign with Lucy for about 2 years now and her DMing style is fantastic. Her world building is super immersive down to the local food and trade and she takes the time to make all of our characters fit well within her world building and we feel like our actions really impact how things go in these settings. Give her an idea and she will hit the ground running with it. I have cried by Lucy's DMing (good tears I promise!). Warning: your actions have consequences and matter! She makes sure of it! HA! She's laid back and easy to work with as well so don't be afraid to hash out character backstory or details about motivations and plans going forward. Combat wise she keeps us on our toes but makes the encounters fun easy to follow. We just recently started working with roll20 for visuals with our fights so for a while it was mostly her describing the locations and settings for combat verbally and very rarely have I felt lost without visuals or maps. The maps she has made tho are easy to read and well done. She's quite the artist!
