About me
I've been playing and running games for 30 years. I started with DnD 2nd edition, and I've run every edition since, as well as multiple different systems including Shadowrun, Savage Worlds, Star Wars d6, and Hunter.
GM Style
I have been playing and running games since the dark days of the Satanic Panic. I like tactical combat, but combat doesn't have to be the focus of a campaign. Playing it safe is boring, so I encourage and reward shenanigans, tomfoolery, and plans so dumb they HAVE to work. (this doesn't mean those plans will work, but I do appreciate the attempts) I've played and ran more systems than I can count, and have taught just as many, so even if you've never tossed a set of funky looking dice, you have a place at my table. The only thing I don't accept at my table is intolerance.

Rule of Cool
This was my first time playing as a PC, and Betty made it a brilliant experience. Very welcoming to beginners, explaining everything clearly and with just the right amount of detail. As someone who’s quite fluent in english but not a native speaker, I really appreciated how inclusive and easy to follow she made everything. Betty encourages creativity, sets enjoyable challenges, and is fair even when the Savage Worlds dice rolls go against us. Great fun !
Betty is a great GM for creating excitement and action that has a story behind it, and finding ways to let each character shine in their moment. She pays attention to what the players want and how things are going, and keeps the game pointed in directions that lead somewhere entertaining. She uses every tool available to add details to the story - from handouts and visual aids, to the backstory details that make a complete mental picture.
Been a part of Betty's Savage Worlds: Deadlands game for a whiles now and she's been a lovely GM! She has good understanding of the ruleset and ability to communicate it effectively, as well as a good sense of knowing when to run with player improvisation and how to do so effectively.
Betty is such a fun GM, she's endlessly imaginative and always able to roll with the punches no matter what happens during the session. I'm not ashamed to admit that the recent Deadlands that we played had me so on edge and concerned for my character that I was on the edge of my seat. Definitely pick Betty for a game if you can!
