About Railynn
Hi! I have been a DM for close to 10 years, with 15 years experience in text roleplay and creative writing. My specialization is creating character arcs and involving character backstory into the plot of the game. I used to run successful a westmarch community 3 years ago where I streamed my games on twitch. I quit when I decided to go back to university and finish up my education and I realized I could not realistically do both. Additionally, I also enjoy building my own systems, homebrewing and worldbuilding. All my games take place in my own homebrew world where the actions of all players are canon. If you burn down a village, that village is gone for everyone.

I got started GMing...
I became a GM originally to give my forever GM a chance to be a player and ended up falling in love with it. There is something so satisfying with crafting tailored stories for the players where they get to feel like heroes, and where their actions matter and have consequences.
How Railynn runs games
I tend to adapt my playstyle to my players. If I DM for a group who loves challenging combat, that is what I provide. If I DM for a group who loves puzzles and roleplay, that is what I provide. Usually I try to keep a good balance of everything though. In my games, I thrive on storytelling. Shaping stories around the characters and making the players feel like their choices matter and have consequences. Where they shape the world around them and their backstory gets woven into the larger plot as a whole. I love to build character arcs which resolution comes with permanent rewards or upgrades. I create NPCs that remember if you were mean or kind to them. NPCs of characters you have killed or wronged may hold grudges while NPCs you have helped will try to do the same for you.
