About Magpie

I'm a storyteller and software engineer who loves fantasy stories of all kinds, especially queer ones. I write, do game development/design, and build cool things in my spare time. I love reading, watching, and playing (in video, board, or tabletop game form, I'm not picky) amazing stories of all kinds. I love my cat. I've been a DM/GM/Storyteller for about ten years, specializing in D&D5e/PF2e, PbtA systems, and FitD systems. I love trying out new systems and sharing them with folks new or experienced!

When I'm not running games I'm...

playing video games & TTRPGs, hanging out with my cat, and programming. When I get the motivation I also love to write, world build, and design games of my own (video and otherwise).

How Magpie runs games

I'm a storyteller at heart. I love telling stories, participating in stories, writing stories, building characters and worlds, and adding some randomness to those stories. Video games were my first love but when I first was exposed to TTRPGs I loved that, too! For this reason, my games tend to be very balanced, lots of roleplay but also lots of engaging with mechanics. I love to worldbuild, but I also love getting my players to inject things into the world, and showing that your actions have consequences (good and bad) within said world.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

relationships between characters, telling cool stories about the player characters even if that ends in their death, and how the world shapes the characters.
