About Moses
Hi! I’m Moses (she/they). With a Ph.D. in English and years of teaching experience, I craft unforgettable adventures in D&D 5e (2014 & 2024), Deathmatch Island, and more. I run collaborative, character-driven stories where every player matters. Here is what I bring to the table: - Expert Guidance: Patient, clear facilitation suitable for newbies and veterans alike. - Player Agency: A world shaped by your choices, not a pre-written script. - Safety & Inclusion: Open communication and consent mechanics are standard. - Rich Roleplay: Vibrant NPCs, emotional depth, and creative twists. Join me for a story-rich experience full of dramatic moments and collaborative chaos. Let's tell a story worth remembering.

I got started GMing...
during the pandemic, when online games became a lifeline for connection and creativity. What began as a one-shot quickly spiraled into full campaigns, deep character arcs, and a realization: I love weaving stories that players help build.
My favorite shows/movies are
Hannibal (NBC), Pacific Rim, Attack on Titan, and Moon Knight. I love stories that blend psychological tension, larger-than-life stakes, and characters caught between monstrous power and fragile humanity.
People are always surprised when I tell them
I've never played a TTRPG in person. Every game I've run or played has been online, but that hasn't stopped me from building deep, emotional stories, dynamic player connections, and unforgettable moments.
How Moses runs games
More Than a Game: A Shared Journey. Each session feels like a cinematic episode: rich in emotion, full of drama, and packed with unforgettable character moments and twists you'll talk about for weeks. Deep Roleplay (Sans the Bad Accents). Love roleplay? You’re in the right place. I focus on personality, not performance, so I'll spare you my terrible character voices (trust me, it's a mercy). Instead, I bring NPCs to life through deep motivations and distinct mannerisms, creating space for your character to grow, break, love, and rage. Story-First, Player-Focused. With a Ph.D. in English and years of storytelling experience, I build narratives where your choices matter, your backstory weaves into the world, and the plot responds to what you do, not just the dice. Combat: Rare but Brutal. We don't roll initiative for filler. Violence at this table is infrequent, but when it happens, it is dangerous, tactical, and high-stakes. Every fight tells a story, requires clever teamwork, and has real consequences. Tailored Experiences for All Players. Whether it's your first roll or your five-hundredth, I’ll meet you where you are. I love teaching new players and giving veterans the freedom to dig deep into character or system mastery. Safe, Inclusive, and Actively Welcoming. My tables celebrate queer, POC, and neurodivergent players. We use consent tools and open communication to make sure everyone feels seen, heard, and safe. Play Between Sessions. Want more story? Free play-by-post options let you explore character arcs, NPC bonds, and world lore between sessions.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Guillermo del Toro for the haunting beauty, Jordan Peele for the tension and subtext, and Taika Waititi for those perfectly timed gut-punches wrapped in humor.
My games focus on...
on immersive storytelling, emotionally rich characters, and collaborative worldbuilding. Whether it’s tense roleplay, cinematic combat, or unexpected choices, the goal is always the same: make it matter.
Rules are...
flexible, until they're not. Just make sure you know when you're bending them and when they're bending you.
Moses's ideal table
My table is a collaborative space built on trust, where we balance irreverent side banter with gut-wrenching character beats. We swing from hilarious to heartbreaking without missing a step, prioritizing story flow and emotional connection over checking the rulebook. Whether you're a shy newbie or a seasoned veteran, there is space for you to shine here. I love players who are curious, invested, and ready to embrace messy characters. If you want a safe space to explore dramatic reveals, vulnerabilities, and the occasional bit of weirdness, you'll fit right in.

I think it's a red flag when players...
treat the game like it’s them vs. the party or GM. If you’re not here to collaborate, connect, and build something together, you’re in the wrong tavern.
I think metagaming...
happens. It's human nature to connect dots, but it works best when players pause and ask, “What would my character actually know or do here?" I always encourage checking in with me if you're unsure. It keeps the story grounded in character perspective while still honoring player curiosity.
My table is not the place for...
players who hide behind "it's what my character would do" to excuse disruptive behavior, gamers who aren't also invested in roleplay and story, or anyone bringing bigotry to the table. We're here to build something meaningful together with drama, laughs, and a lot of heart.
