About me
What’s up, Nerds! I've been playing TTRPGs for about six years now and have been GMing home games for two years. When playing, I've always been a chaotic player who enjoys pressing the shiny red button in any scene. In my free time I love immersing myself in my world and I've made more than my fair share of character playlists. When I write for my games, I find myself most inspired by writers such as Shakespeare, R.F. Kuang, Leigh Bardugo, George R. R. Martin, and Holly Black. 📖 I can’t help it, I've always loved a good tragedy, But whatever your characters story turns out to be will be something we’ll have fun making together! As far as Genre’s go, Gritty fantasy owns my heart, especially when inspired by historical events. Personally, I've always had a weakness for a good morally gray protagonist! 🤤 I mean just look at some of my favorite literary characters: Hamlet, Fang Runin, Alicent Hightower, Kaz Brekker, and Jude Duarte. And if I really want to be a weeb about it, I'd add Ken Kaneki to the list. 😅 I love it when heroes get pushed past their breaking point, it's where you truly see the character flourish. Let’s make yours shine together!
GM Style
Heavy Roleplay Focus: I prefer telling a story through dice rather than just rolling dice. Everything has a reason in my stories, as I work hard to make the world as immersive as possible. I take more pleasure in having players interact with the world I put them into rather than just having a dungeon crawl. Rule of Cool: Completely for it in almost every situation, as long as there's reason! If something makes the game more exciting/cinematic and the other players are on board, I am completely for it! Combat: I hate combat without purpose. I am not the type to throw an encounter out just because I think you need something to do, there will always be a reason. That being said, I am also not the type to hold back when in combat, though if your character dies and there's still plenty of their arc to explore, we can work together to ensure everyone's satisfaction. Homebrew: For the most part, I'm alright with any homebrew, and encourage it if you want something tailored to your character. All homebrew items must be approved by me, though.

I love playing with Ophelia! She's a great storyteller who brings her world to life with great moments filled with tension. My characters have always felt so cool and like they impact their surroundings, and their NPCs feel like real people with their own wants and desires. She always tries to incorporate individual backstories into the narrative, and she keeps lighter moments fun with how she deals with the 'Rule of Cool'. If you're looking for a fun, kind, and creative storyteller; then Ophelia's the one for you!

Ophelia's storytelling is vibrant magnetic. She has an amazing eye for detailed lore and character driven narratives. They're very easy going and funny, you won't find it difficult to talk to her about anything. They care deeply about player stories and will work with you to craft the narrative that you are looking to tell while also experiencing the worlds she paints. Highly recommend if you want a engaging storyteller!

Ophelia is Hilarious at the Table! I mean, I have never had a DM be able to bitch on my level! Ophelia constantly has something witty to say and is great at making a simple scene into a great one. You Great Girl! 💜

Playing a Game of Thrones TTRPG with Ophelia has been an incredible experience. She masterfully bring the gritty, complex world of Westeros to life, capturing its intrigue, tension, and moral ambiguity with great skill. Every session feels like a true chapter in the saga, where our choices have real consequences, and the stakes are always high. Ophelia knows how to keep us on our toes, balancing the political intrigue, intense battles, and rich character development that make Game of Thrones so compelling. If you’re looking for a game master who can do justice to the world of Westeros, Ophelia is your person!
