About Megan Hardy

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.

How Megan Hardy runs games

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 Hardy's ideal table

My ideal table is full of adventure, epic moments and laughter. I love when a group comes together to really tell a story and supports each other in the process. I want my games to be more than just rolling dice, I want them to be an a experience that you'll always remember.
