About me
I've been consistently running D&D campaigns since 2015. My favorite thing about D&D is that it gives me the ability to adapt ideas and settings, not typical to D&D to create a unique experiences. I've found my favorite campaigns are the ones that allow the players to think creatively. When I run a game, I try to up the presentation, with the use of visuals and sound, making players feel like they are in the world. These days I'm focused on running Pokémon 5e games, using homebrew rules and a custom API scripts written by me. ***Private Games*** I am available to be booked for private games. While I'm mostly interested in running either mini campaigns or full length Pokémon 5e campaigns, I do offer a few standard D&D 5e options, though the price is higher for those. Below are what campaigns and games I'm offering, along with the my current pricing. These are the total prices, so it can be split among the players. Price varies based on campaign due to difficulty in running it. **Mini-Campaigns** *D&D 5e* Lost Mines of Phandelver (Start Set) Play the module that kicked off 5e. $75 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $100 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions. Movie Reroll - Jurassic Park 3 Using 5e homebrewed rules, we'll play through the classic, but not very good, movie Jurassic Park 3, either making it better or worse. $75 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. **Full Campaigns** *Pokémon 5e* Pokémon - Psionic Purple Using 5e homebrewed rules, become the very best Pokémon Master, by exploring Kanto, taking on the Indigo Challenge and devious forces. (Campaign is designed for a maximum of 2 players, but can discuss having additional players) $75 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $100 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions. Pokémon - Princes of the Apocalypse A remix of the 5e elemental adventure, adapting it to the world of Pokémon. $75 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $100 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions. *D&D 5e* Waterdeep - Dungeon of the Mad Mage Explore the mega dungeon that is the Undermountain $100 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $125 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions. Tomb of Annihilation Explore the Jungles of Chult and stop a deadly curse. $100 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $125 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions. Icewind Dale - Rime of the Frostmaiden Explore the frozen wasteland of Icewind Dale and end an eternal winter. $100 for 2.5 to 3 hour sessions. $125 for 3.5 to 4 hours sessions.
GM Style
I shoot for a mixture of combat and roleplay. I try my best to do voices. I also stream situational music, to help players feel immersed.

Madi is great! I've never been able to get into DnD as a system before playing with her, but she's been easy to work with and incredibly patient while guiding us through it. She never fails to impress with her knowledge, creativity, and the amount of effort she puts into setting up the world and getting the vibes just right. Every session played with her is a highlight of my week; I couldn't ask for a better DM.

The games have been a lot of fun and Maddie is very accomodating when it comes to taking breaks when needed. Session 0 was very helpful, especially for someone like me who's still very new to TTRPG, and she makes sure to explain things whenever I need extra help!

what is there to say about Maddie. She has been a friend, Party Member and DM for me for the last 3 to 4 years. Maddie is a brilliant DM with the ability to really get you into the game and immerse yourself into the story. Allowing for player creativity and very off the wall ideas for which i am guilty of doing i.e. creating a Billy the Bass with a Nat 20 magical tinkering. Maddie is a reliable DM and takes everyone's thoughts and concerns into her planning. I am proud to say I have known her virtually these last 4 years and things still never get old. A DM like this is hard to find. Grab on and enjoy the ride don't be afraid to bounce your ideas off of her!

I wish I could choose more than three options on here! Madelyn is a wonderful GM. She allows us to follow the storyline at our own pace and encourages social RP that we want, while still having combat that can be difficult. She creates fun NPCs and brings them to life based on how our characters interact with them and our insight. I never feel as if I’m being forced into a story, or a character interaction. Once there had been a misunderstanding (on my part) and she discussed the issue (after the game) in a respectful manner that showed that she cared how I felt and appreciated the the discussion. I am only adding this because life happens and she handles it extremely well. Overall I am so glad that she is my GM and would recommend her to anyone. She takes what we give and seamlessly adds it to the story.

Madelyn has a great grasp of narrative and smoothy works player generated ideas into the cohesive overall story. She plays NPCs creatively and with depth, has a great grasp of the mechanics of the game, and creates a very safe and fun space for players across a variety of moods and genres.
