About me

I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about 2 years now and I love being a DM as much as I love being a player. As a DM, I love to bring whimsy, creativity, peril, and surprises to the table. Mix in a few interesting NPCs and the craziness of letting players make choices and my games end up being a lot of fun, at least according to the players I've had. Beyond DnD, I've been an avid fantasy reader and hobbiest writer for most of my life. I also love RPG and cozy farming sim games, and I grew up on Star Wars, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings. I love a good story and I love seeing what happens when players change that story. I am most skilled at story and character development, but I make a decent puzzle, troublesome traps, and good combat too. I am not yet familiar with other play systems outside of 5e, so all my games will be in 5e.

GM Style

I love roleplay and creative problem-solving. I'm a pretty story-focused DM, but I will give my players plenty of room to explore and effect the world they find themselves in. My games are whimsical and fun, more lighthearted fantasy romp than anything else. Good guys are good, bad guys are bad (usually) and there are clear goals to achieve or missions to complete.

I haven’t been playing with her for long, but in that time I have had so much support even during difficult times from Kathy. She takes the time to talk with players together or personally to make sure we are all on the same page.

I have played with Kathy on multiple occasions, and am currently in a campaign with her as the DM. She’s a fantastic storyteller, that allows for lighthearted fun among players and will give you a truly tailored experience. She has some incredible worldbuilding and is a joy to play with.

This gm/dm is very focused. Very understanding, and very detailed. When I played she rolled with the punches, whe threw many wrenches in her plans and railroaded many times, and she was able to adapt and accommodate. One of the best forsure.

She's wonderful! She's well practiced at adapting and incorporating things people do/want incorporated for their characters. Wonderful at communicating and asking questions. Good at accounting for various abilities. Her worlds feel like places you can have an actual impact on if you ask/try to, and that's a rarity that should be treasured.
