About me

Hey there! I’m Courtney (aka Petrichor/Petri) and I’d love for you to join me in a game sometime. I’ve been playing DnD 5e for about two years and have started to branch out into DMing! I enjoy playing voice chat or play by post and look forward to playing these formats as a DM. DnD has had such a big, positive impact on my mental health and I want to give others a chance to socialize, have fun, and step out of reality for a few hours.

GM Style

My GM style mainly focuses on the player getting the most joy and fun out of their experience! I really love the roleplaying aspect of DnD and helping players build their characters' backstory and development! I also really enjoy the combat side of DnD with the right group of people. I utilize Discord, Roll20, DnD Beyond, and Beyond 20 for my games.

Courtney is a creative DM and great for beginners. She lets her players take their time and role play off one another. She makes the group feel comfortable and takes care to ensure everyone is having a safe and fun time.

Petri is a very wonderful and fun DM to have! She provides a welcoming environment and D&D table for many, ensuring that everyone is able to participate! Even if you're a bit shy, she will give you opportunities to shine but also won't push you if you aren't comfortable, allowing you time until you are ready to get more involved! She is also open to out of the box thinking and suggestions to do in game! You can tell she is having just as much fun with the story as you are as a player, especially when seeing how everyone's characters interact with one another and with the silly NPCs that pop up. Petri is definitely a DM I would recommend to any of my friends if I want them to see how fun D&D can be!

Petri is a cool DM and fellow player. When DMing she will make sure everyone is enjoying themselves, is inclusive in her games an also a lot of fun. She is not there so punish anyone for exploring, is cool with most races and classes and is not 'stingy' in that sense. She incetivize backstories and RP, and is very excited with TTRPG in general.

Petrichor is an absolutely fantastic GM, I had the pleasure of getting to join a pbp game she was running and it was a blast. She was very descriptive with her responses and the excellent and coordinating with players. I throughly enjoyed how engaging she was throughout the pbp not just regarding the play but also with any questions players had. I highly recommend joining one of Petri's games!

Petrichor was very kind and patient. She walked us through Alice is Missing (my first time) and ensured we all felt safe. Her excitement and love for the game was clear and made me excited to try. The process was smooth and the Discord server we used had plenty of organization and structure for the game.

Tried the Alice is Missing game with Petrichor, she made the experience very entertaining. I did not know what to expect when I joined but I'm glad I tried! I could tell that they care a lot about the safety and experience of everyone at the table and she made sure we were all having fun and were alright after what can be a heavy experience. An overall great experience!
