About Morningbird

I'm a geeky gamer mom who loves a good story. I run wholesome, accessible, PG-13 games from a variety of systems. I prefer fantasy and horror settings and love to run a good mystery or heist. Players under 18 are permitted at my tables if an adult family member is also playing and the rest of the table agrees. Please talk to me ahead of time about this. I am committed to making my games accessible! Please let me know what your needs are and I will do my very best to accommodate them.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Farming, gardening, cooking, reading cozy fantasy mysteries, victorian mysteries or coming of age fantasy novels, researching and writing about plants and folklore, prepping for more games. And cleaning house.

How Morningbird runs games

What I provide for my players: * Interesting stories, challenging puzzles, and complex NPCs. Every encounter has multiple possible outcomes and every choice affects the world. * A PG-13, Safe for Work experience that embraces diversity. * Gaming customized to your needs and communication requirements. * Smaller group maximums and minimums. I prefer to run groups from three to five players though I will make exceptions for private friend and family groups. * Google docs setting guides and campaign notes for reference during and between sessions. * I play by rules as written for the most part. If I have any special rules, they are documented. * The whole group can roleplay, chat and share information between games via our private Discord channel on my Discord server. What I expect from my players: * Please read the materials I provide to ensure you are signing up for the experience you want. * Create a character that will be fun for other players to play with and who fits into the story and the setting. * Cooperate with your fellow players. * Show up on time, ready to play, or notify me well in advance. * Be polite, compassionate, and kind to your fellow players and to me. Allow others to finish speaking before interrupting and allow others to answer questions directed to them, rather than answering for them. Mute your mic when someone else is speaking. * If someone asks you to stop doing the thing; Stop. Do not argue or try to convince them they are wrong. * Sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism, and racism are not okay. They may occur in the world of the game, but they will be viewed in a negative light by civilized people- A problem to be fought. * Do not talk about real-life politics or religion at my table. * Please tell me if you have any issues, in character or out of character, that are interfering with your enjoyment of the game or your ability to attend. I might be able to help. * You do not have to roleplay in the first person. You do not have to voice act. You should, however, try to be inside your character's head, not your own. Please let me know if you have trouble with this. I can help.

Rules are...

important for creating a framework from which to plan strategies and come up with creative solutions and scenarios.

Morningbird's ideal table

My tables are PG-13, inclusive and consent focused. Individuals under 18 are permitted at most of my tables with the participation of a parent. I expect players to roleplay, but I don't expect them to voice act. I love a creative table that surprises me and enjoys overcoming challenges and complications cooperatively.
