About me
I have been playing D&D5e for the last 3-4 years now and DMing for about 2-3 years. I was nervous at first, but now I love it just as much as I love playing! During that time, I created many adventure modules and maps, while also helping new players get acquainted with the game (definitely one of my favorite things to do). Now, I usually have two to three campaigns going at a time. I believe in player agency and am open to creative and unexpected solutions -- I encourage them, actually. In fairness, I try to keep with the rules as written with minor adjustments. However, if a player can offer a reasonable alternative, I like to roll with it. I love to exchange silly humor and bad puns. As well as keeping play lighthearted and team-oriented. Keep up-to-date in my Discord server! https://discord.gg/DEZPAPbxVv
GM Style
My GM style is focused around the players. I like to give the information and see where the players take it instead of telling them where it takes them. I really enjoy running combat heavy games, but understand the importance of role-play in the story. I am here to ensure the players enjoy themselves!

Fun and relaxed atmosphere, and included all party members. Encouraged the group without revealing too much, which allowed PCs to develop their own plans and solutions. Really fun session. **Update - I've now played all of the Golden Vault missions and have to say this has been a great ride. She continues to be a creative, inclusive and entertaining DM (which is why I keep coming back!) and I highly recommend. The only sad party is "retiring" a character I've been able to develop through the sessions and have grown attached to. Looking forward to see what comes next in Candlekeep!

I brought a bunch of my friends to MirthfulMage and every one of them had nothing but positive things to say about the experience. We plan to come back in the future! Thank you so much, Mirthful! 7/8/23 She laughs along with us, knows the rules and the worlds she sets up, and knows when to bend them for fun. She's patient with beginners and is known in some circles as the Map Goddess for accurate reasons. If you are an inclusive player who enjoys someone who spins amazing games, think of her. 11/01/24 I have had the pleasure of playing with MirthfulMage since she started here. She has never let her players down, is a map goddess, and excellent with beginners and experts.

Great at communicating with players, whether helping them figure out how to accomplish something or moving the game forward

Darbie is the kindest, sweetest, most amazing person and you will have a wonderful time at her table. She weaves a great story, is safe and inclusive for all players, and is more of a collaborative DM (as opposed to the DM vs. player style). Beginner in D&D? No RP experience? No problem!
