About Alice-Mae

Hello! I'm meatcube, or you can call me Alice! I am a 26 year old, neurodivergent queer trans woman, and I have been playing, running, crafting, and tweaking Table-Top Role-Playing Games for over a decade now! Honestly, I spend most of my time thinking about, prepping or building TTRPG's, but when I'm not doing that I tend to be writing poetry, doing visual art, reading comics or drawing my own comics! I am a firm believer that creating things together is one of the best parts of the human experience, and I think that running games is one of the easiest ways that I can make that easier for other people. (plus I get to do it more too!) One of the reasons TTRPG's are my medium of choice, however, is how integral communication and cooperation are to the process. Each moment is impacted by the personal experience and aesthetics of every person present for it, and I think that's absolutely magical. I hope we can do some of that magic together!

I became a GM because

I became a GM because I couldn't get enough of the game! TTRPGS quickly became a deep passion of mine and no one i knew would run enough sessions to keep up with my appetite!

How Alice-Mae runs games

As a Dungeon Master I like to make pretty widely varied worlds, that are colored by the campaign itself, so things can be pretty wildly different depending on which game I'm running. That being said there are a few things that I like to keep pretty constant at my tables. The biggest one is: Combat Should Always be Heart-Pounding! What's the point in breaking out combat if it doesn't get the blood pumping? Any time swords are drawn I want the players to feel like their lives are on the line! Another one is: People and Places Should Always be Memorable! Why have another general goods store clerk if he's not got a funny pet rat in the corner, or a strange scar and a funny story about it? If a player's not going to remember it, then I don't see much of a point in adding it. I like to run very colorful, very dangerous worlds with some strange problems. That's what they need adventurer's for! So get in here!

Alice-Mae's ideal table

My ideal table is filled with people that enjoy role-playing but are also here to play the game of it. The phrase I've used in the past is "good-faith min-maxing," which means that the players are trying to secure every advantage they can, while still respecting the reality of the game-world and inhabiting their characters.
