About me
Hello, welcome to my profile. I have been game mastering since I first got into TTRPGs in '03; In fact, most of my time with TTRPGs has been spent being a game master. I started with the release of D&D 3.5. and quickly transitioned to mostly running GURPS as my favorite system since it was more flexible for playing my own worlds. However, I have long since moved into preferring games based more on fictional engagement than system engagement. I prefer to run Fate Core for heavy powers & awesomeness and Powered by the Apocolypse games like Thirsty Sword Lesbians and Monster of the Week for messier and more emotional games. It is unusual to find combat-oriented games at my table as I prefer mystery, thrillers, horror, and politics to any brawler. I adore indie games and am always interested in fun, wacky, and zany one-shots or short campaigns. I always have far more games that I have backed or purchased than I have been able to play. Even outside of games, I am an avid roleplayer and love collaborative storytelling and writing. Navigating fictional worlds and exploring characters and their challenges is one of my favorite past times. I hope you will join me for it! I use Roll20 as the virtual tabletop and Discord for chat, audio, and video. I prefer "video on," but understand and respect when that is not desired. I live in Las Vegas and am also available for in-person games. Safety tools are essential to me; All games start with Lines & Veils and have the X Card. I also support using Script Change and Open Door, which is the assurance that someone can leave or take a break for any reason without being judged. I am a queer & trans woman, and this shapes the worlds I help create with players. While not all games I run are themed around queer liberation, you should expect normalization of queer, PoC, and differently-abled lifestyles. Themes like sexism, racism, ableism, and various phobias will generally not be allowed.
GM Style
➡️ Narrative-focused play that keeps rolling and combat meaningful. ➡️ I strive to be the biggest fan of your character and stories. ➡️ I want to help you do silly, cool, and fun things. ➡️ Safety & Fun over Continuity & Rules. ➡️ An accepting and open environment for all at the table. ➡️ I am horrible with voices 🤣

Ms DOS is great at setting the perfect tone for games. Played a version of TSL but with Stardew Valley influence and it is a lot of fun. Getting a chance to build more on emotions, friendships, and romance.

We played a Fate core game with Amelia, and she is amazing! We built a world together then asked her to create a mystery. Her story was very well put together and seemes to incorporate our choices and changes seemlessly. Her NPCs are unique and interesting. Highly recommend! Oh! And she was great with teaching the system and we always felt safe/secure in taking risks and being open as players.

Ms DOS was great at allowing all of the players to make their own narrative and fit it into the game she had made. We had brand new and veteran players alike and allowed all of us to carve out our own path. Proper use of safety tools, inclusivity, and fun!

I have played many games with Ms_DOS. I was there when she first started. I have loved every game i have played with her. From depth of knowledge to inclusive story telling.

Amelia is such a fun GM! She brings a very safe vibe to the table, and isn't afraid to bring players back on task when they get too distracted. She explained the rules patiently and helped one of our neurodivergent players learn them more thoroughly, which was no small feat! We played in person, and several of us dressed up, which brought an even greater depth to the experience. I highly recommend this GM!

Was an absolutely amazing game. Worked well with newer and experienced players and made the game fun and inclusive for everyone. 10/10 would play again!
