About me
Hi there! I'm just an ordinary girl with an active imagination. I never outgrew wanting to play pretend, and I believe there's something truly magical about people coming together and putting aside our mundane lives for a few hours to make something fantastic together. I got my start as a GM over a decade ago so I could run games for my daughters when my youngest was just 4 years old. "Dungeons and Doughnuts" nights became a weekly occurrence that both girls and I looked forward to. I'm also a professional in the game industry and have had the opportunity to work (and play) with some AMAZING folks.
GM Style
I see roleplay as collaborative storytelling, so even if I start out running a game module or adventure path, I expect the story to evolve based on player choices. It's never just my story to tell - it's ours to create together. I also am not the sort of GM who's out to get the player. Yes, I am going to try to make you REALLY dislike my antagonists, but know that I'm still rooting for you to defeat them and overcome all the riddles and challenges I throw at you. I'm also the goofy NPCs, the helpful strangers who show up when things are at their most desperate, and the one who slips the treasure into the pockets of those goons you just defeated. Now the dice... sometimes the dice ARE out to get you. >_<

I am currently playing in 2 Pathfinder games with Mysty and both have been extremely enjoyable. She does a fantastic job roleplaying NPCs and always manages to make combat fun and exciting! I highly recommend her as a GM and will most likely be playing in as many of her games as I have time for.

She ran a Mutants and Masterminds game for me a while back, and it was the most fun I ever had playing that system. She was clear and concise, her NPC's had depth, I never felt like I was fighting her, I was so immersed in the world I never had a feeling that I was being left out. She actually included my backstory into the game and found ways too include it into the story without distracting from anyone elses gameplay. She is a fantastic GM

Mysty has a creative approach for blending the Monster of the Week system with Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green inspired settings, creating a story that pulls you in right from the start. She delivers an intense survival horror experience, packed with detailed investigations, immersive roleplay, gritty action, and thrilling combat. As a storyteller, Mysty is truly dedicated to making the game engaging for everyone. She’s great with both newcomers and veteran players, offering patient guidance that makes learning the game smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an immersive, story-driven campaign.
