About me

Hey y'all, I'm Penny your Southern gothic, trans femme DM! She/her ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ I'm an Eberron enthusiast who has been running tabletop adventures, creating new worlds, and telling stories for parties of all sizes for the last two decades. I prioritize community and party cooperation in my campaigns - no one person may save the world (or destroy it) on their own. Bringing unique, individual character stories together, melding those with memorable NPC companions, and creating dynamic challenges both in and out of initiative is all part of my recipe to deliver a campaign the party will recall for years onward. I've ran sessions for new and veteran players alike; in fact, many of my StartPlaying campaigns have been joined by players starting off on their very first TTRPG adventures. Be you old or new to the wider TTRPG universe, you have a friendly table waiting for you here to teach you all you'll need to know or maybe just polish up those old roleplaying skills. While I am a roleplaying Dungeon Master first an foremost, I do also employ a bit of "shiny" distraction in the way of high-production battle encounters and role-playing scenes. From vibrant battle maps and combat animations to dynamic lighting, sounds, and music, to fully automated character sheets that roll your dice with a single click, you can be assured you'll be immersed in the scene and not thinking about all the numbers all from behind your monitor. Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope to meet you at the table soon! Happy roleplaying!

GM Style

What should you expect from a session at my table? ๐Ÿ“œRichly developed narrative in a living, breathing world involving your character's backstory and space for you to tell their ongoing stories together. โš” Intense encounter design encouraging players to find clever solutions or create memorable character beats. ๐ŸŽฅHigh-quality productions including vibrant battle maps with sound and music tailored to the game. ๐ŸŽ™ A flair of the dramatic and some silly NPC voices to boot! ๐Ÿ’–An accepting and caring place to be you. My table is a safe space for all LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and disabled players. โ“A table where asking questions is encouraged. ๐ŸคA home for both new and old players to come and adventure.
