About me

Hey there! I'm Moses, a wizard with words thanks to my background as an English teacher and a Ph.D. in English. My journey has taken me from text-based RPGs and roleplaying video games to Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) 5e, a transition that became a lifeline during the pandemic. Over the years, I've woven adventures in D&D 5e, with a few dips into other systems like Pathfinder, Deathmatch Island, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, and Monster of the Week. My passion lies in crafting immersive worlds and inclusive, engaging stories where players of all levels feel welcome. 🎮 Started with text-based RPGs and video games, now fully immersed in D&D 5e. 🧩 Experienced DM with a side of Pathfinder, City of Mist, Alien, and more. 🛡️ My table: a safe, discrimination-free space for adventure and camaraderie. 📚 Ph.D. and teaching experience ensure inclusive, dynamic games for all levels. 🌟 Every session is unique and tailored to player choices. 🎲 Ready to embark on an unforgettable D&D 5e campaign together?

Here, everyone’s story is celebrated. ✨ Deep, Creative Worldbuilding: Dive into rich settings, uncover intricate puzzles, and experience a world brought to life with vivid detail and imagination. 📬 Continuous Play-by-Post Adventures: The story doesn’t stop when the session ends! I offer free play-by-post activities between games, allowing you to further develop your character and keep the adventure alive. 🎉 Available for Hire: Bring unforgettable storytelling to your events—whether it's a birthday, game night, bachelor party, or team-building experience.

She is a great help for beginners! I had my first session for a campaign with her also my first campaign ever and she help me understand how things work with roll20 and beyond20. so I never held others back that much. I got enjoy it quite a bit. I'm not great with reviews but just know she's a great GM!

DM Momo kicked us off into high gear with clear expectations, good communication, safe guidelines, and the kind of humor that has you cackling from combat to combat. Excellent pacing, great descriptors, and well-conducted exploration are just the base: her creative monsters and regional development put you right into the fantasy realm of her creation. Just one game and I'm hooked!

One session in so far, and absolutely loving it. DM is engaging and supportive of character interaction between players. Having fun and looking forward to more sessions with both the group and the DM.

• Set clear pre-game instructions; easy, straightforward prep • Made an organic effort to involve the two new players (myself included) in a session with 4 out of 6 regulars • Ran the one-shot in a way that made our actions feel like they matter, despite the self-contained story • Encouraged and rewarded clever decision-making

Played a oneshot with Moses as DM and had a lot of fun. Everyone there was nice and bounced off of each other well, and she was really good at paying attention to each character and giving everyone a chance to shine. I would recommend this experience to anyone!
