About Manny Elliott
Hello! My name is Manny Elliott and I am a non-binary and Autistic GM who's been running games for about seven years and doing it professionally for five. I have a back ground in theatre production and improv and rely heavily on it whether I am running a homebrew setting or a published module. I have a particular interest in running games for youth (elementary-high school age), neurodivergent players, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

How Manny Elliott runs games
I lean in heavily to roleplay and build intricate and unique worlds for my players to interact with. I like to tie my players' backstories together in complex webs that are slowly revealed through gameplay. I also love to craft new rules, mechanics, items, and monsters. I try to keep my games 60% roleplay/exploration and about 40% combat/puzzle solving. I like to empower not only my players but their characters to contribute to the communal storytelling by offering them situations to "take the reigns" where they can add to the setting, NPCs, or monsters. I also try to foster a safer space to discuss difficult or uncomfortable topics such as trauma, power structures, and identity.

I love it when a player
Makes up something about the world we play in and then takes the reigns on fleshing out that aspect of the game.
