About me

Hi! I'm Marie! I've been playing DnD since the age of ten and play 5e for years. I like adventures filled with roleplay and emotions and bring creative and interesting stories to the table. Sometimes wacky, sometimes serious, it's gonna be rollercoaster of emotions!

GM Style

I would describe my gm style as immersive. I love to make good roleplay, with emotion enducing dialogues, that will pull on your heart strings or make you laugh. I enjoy making the NPCs memorable, sometimes lovable, and sometimes hateble. I also always have the perfect soundtrack for every situation! That is not to say that combats won't also be memorable! All aspects of the game are necessary to have an epic adventure, and I don't intend to dissapoint on any level!

I just had a session with Marie. Awesome fun. She is a great storyteller and a very friendly GM. I joined the “Learn French with DnD” and was pleasantly surprised how easy she made French learning while playing DnD. I cannot thing of a more fun and engaging way to learn French. Highly recommended.

I'm in the Learn French campaign and I adore playing with Marie!! Every session is so much fun, her descriptions are amazing both in English and in French, she is super helpful and the atmosphere is always wonderful. I look forward to this game every week and i'm never disappointed, I wholeheartedly recommend Marie's campaigns to everyone! 🩷

I think as a DM it's sometimes very hard to control how fast or slow characters move through the story, but I think Marie does a good job wrangling our group along and I really enjoy her style of DMing. She's careful about dealing with tricky horror themes and she gave us a lot of flexibility with how to build how characters. I look forward to our sessions every week!

A few sessions in on playing Curse Of Strahd and it's been a wonderful time so far! Marie makes the sessions tons of fun, and even coming at the campaign fairly new to 5e I haven't felt at all lost or confused. She's always happy to make suggestions if a player isn't sure what they can do, but the choices are very much your own. There's always some music to set the creepy tone, and she brings the horror aspects across, while letting our characters be silly at times, too. Uncovering the mysteries of the Durst Family has been a totally horrifying time for the party, but a great time for all the players. Can't wait for the next session!

I'm having such a great time with Marie's CoS game. The group, the vibe, the game, all A+. Any group with Marie at the helm is bound to have fun.

Marie is super fun and welcoming! She allows for players to be goofy but also keeps us on track. If you're looking for a dm to introduce you to Dnd look no further!
