About me
I have been running games for kids for the past six years. I have run over 300 hundred games to over 500 students over that time period. I have specifically run several games for kids who are neurodiverse. I am even on a platform specifically for neurodiverse kids and their educational needs running D&D games I have designed. I specialize in creative; role play heavy games that are inclusive to all. I have also given interviews and written blog pieces on the benefits of running games for kids and adults alike. Especially for those who are neuro diverse. Here is an interview I did that gives insight into my DM style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoqSM3P9NZA&t=764s On SPG I run several horror themed games for adults. Many set in the Grim Hollow setting. I will happily run games for younger players upon request. I also run a server with my husband, also a DM on SPG (https://startplaying.games/gm/cuddlemonkey). https://discord.gg/meganandthemonkey I firmly believe in player agency and just having fun. My games are filled with laughter, intense battles and stories that connect the players. Beyond this I am a mom to four and a proud nerd. I provide games for adults, kids, and families as a whole. I look forward to creating a World for you to play in.
GM Style
I love roleplay and using player backstories to help build the World I am creating. I focus on player driven stories and adjust to the table. Instead of saying no, I try to say, "how can we make this work." I also provide excellent fleshed out NPCs that truly shape the world. I do enjoy challenging combat and like to have my BBEGs use strategy.

Megan is very cool. She creates a world inside an adventure and ensures everything flows. Players have as much opportunity to shine as they want. A good blend of my favorite things: 1) Combat, 2) Investigation and 3) Role Play.

Happy I stumbled on this group. DM is amazing and the group is fantastic. Allows lots of creativity and unorthodox ways of thinking. If you are looking for a good horror campaign she is the one to look at!

I can honestly say Megan is one of the best DMs I've had the honor of playing with. The games are tons of fun and she has been a great inspiration for my own games. The RP that she offers is some of the best and she leaves tons of room for unique characters and ideas. I would encourage anyone who hasn't to play at least one game with her.

Megan is an incredible DM and has attracted an amazing community ! I would recommend joining any of her games to players with all levels of experience, I joined the community only having played for a couple months before and I’ve had an incredible time learning and playing since. I have now been at her tables for dozens of sessions and do not plan on looking back. :)

Just had my first session with Megan. What an absolute blast. Really had everything dialed in to be able to get into the game smoothly. Was greeted by a table of wonderful players with whom she was familiar, returning players are a great sign! Can't wait for the next session.
