About me

I've played tabletop games for a little over ten years and started running my own games just over eight years ago. I've run modules and I've run plenty of homebrew content. I consider myself to be a pretty loose GM, meaning that when it comes to the rules I tend to lean towards what's more fun for everyone. As long as everyone understands the rules at their basic form and we are not outright breaking them, I like to allow players to be creative! I like letting them push and bend the rules a little. For me, creativity and fun are more important in a game. I'm very experienced in DND 5e but I hope to slowly add other game systems to my roster, such as Household, Humblewood or Call of Cthulu. I am also a character artist! (Banner art is mine, lol) Feel free to check out my Instagram. I create character art and illustrations, and I even create player tokens for my players!

GM Style

My GM style certainly gravitates more towards roleplay but I'm not a slouch at combat either. I encourage creativity and thinking outside the box. I tend to throw puzzles and riddles at my players, letting them interact in the game without having to always rely on their character mechanics. Romance in game with other (willing) players or with myself as an NPC is more than welcome. I can go from cute and fluffy to horror and creepy on the drop of a dime when needed.

What can I say about Cas, that isn't praise? Not much. Cas is a brilliant, engaging DM who draws you in to the world you're exploring with her, and let's you have such whimsical chaotic fun... or draws you into the depths of fear and insanity (dependent on the Game you're playing). Cas is incredibly inclusive, welcoming, and loves the rule of cool, which is perfect for our group of relative Chaos Goblins. Knows the Games well, but exploring more and more systems, so I expect Cas to be showcasing more and more games with her own abilities. Also, if you're lucky enough to get a Character Portrait, you should treasure it.

Cas is a catch! Her storytelling is on point! Her voice acting superb! (The granny voice particularly). Her Dm skills and management of game time is just amazing. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time to book a session with her! Like right now! Book it now!

This is the DM that kicked me into gear and got me to finally work on my own campaign. It had been something that I had always wanted to do but quickly abandoned the idea. In my mind the task had been too great and the mental willpower wasn’t there. The notes and plans sat in my Google Drive for about 10 years completely forgotten about, until I got invited to join a campaign they were running. Being in their campaign brought back all the ideas and feelings that made me want to start my own campaign in the first place. And how can I properly describe how such a kind and lovely soul can thoroughly put my heart through the shredder? And somehow I say thanks? This is the kind of DM that makes you fall in love with your character. You pull up your character sheet, everything is rolled up, your backstory is typed out and you have an idea of what this bundle of numbers on a screen is supposed to act like. But then you start playing and it clicks and you love this thing you’ve created. The best way I can describe it is that you’re given the tools and experience to make this character into something you’re proud of. And then this wonderful DM will ever so gently take your beautiful creation and give it Emotional Damage. But it’ll be fun. And you’ll say thanks. If I could use all the tags I would in a heart beat and I DO mean that seriously.

Cas’ boundless creativity and fondness for both character driven narratives and fantastical world building make her a marvelous Game Master. She has a finely honed skill for building upon ideas shared by players and working with them to enhance the experience she provides as she works with her party to weave an entertaining story, regardless of genre.

Cas is a wonderful game master. She has a unique way of worldbuilding that makes a game richer and more nuanced. She has a really comforting presence as a GM. Her games are intricate stories that take you to foreign worlds and are whimsical without being shallow.
