About me

Whether you're looking to dip your toes into the TTRPG pool, or run laps via system mastery, you've come to the right place! As a GM, I prioritize fun while seeking to challenge the players so they can have amazing moments worth remembering for years to come, and also creating a welcoming and inclusive space for folks with all levels of experience. I discovered TTRPGs during the pandemic, and immediately took a shine to it. I dove headfirst into the hobby from the very beginning! Shortly after I started playing, I wanted to try my hand at running games. Once I did, I learned that I'm one of those rare types that greatly prefers running to playing. A key reason I prefer running is that I love to be a fan of my players – to set up challenges and see how they overcome them, or what new story is told when they fail! Whether it's teaching new players or setting up scenarios for experienced veterans, I love to run games and match the style of the given group. This means I'm comfortable running the gamut from rules-lite systems to highly tactical scenarios with a focus on specific rule interactions. As a GM, I do have a specific, personalized style. For one thing, while I do believe in defaulting to 'Rules as Written' and/or 'Rules as Intended,' I chiefly instead aim for all my players to have fun. A 'Rule of Fun,' if you will! To that end, I try to be responsive to player choices, so that you feel like you're playing in a living, breathing, reacting world, rather than just moving through a story to be witnessed. I also excel at cinematic descriptions of environments and action, which I blame on my background in film. Similarly, one thing that my players in the past have noted is my commitment to embodying NPCs and other elements of my world. Which is to say, they all love the mannerisms, voices, and sound effects I utilize for people and animals! While the majority of my experience is with Dungeons and Dragons 5e, I have a fair amount of experience with Shadowdark, Pathfinder 2e, and a slew of Powered by the Apocalypse systems. If you're curious about a system (or even specific campaign) that I'm not currently offering, feel free to message me and ask! When it comes to the tech side of things, I try to keep it as simple as possible: Owlbear Rodeo for hosting the table, with any audio/video components handled over Discord. As a member of the queer community, I strive to create an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive space, both at the table and as part of the game worlds. I'm also patient with new and newer players, whether that's to a system or the hobby as a whole. I love this hobby, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with others. I hope to see you at the table!
