About me

Hello! My name is Rain (She/They), and I'm a huge admirer of all things artistic and passionate. My main love being stories, I live to write and explore many different worlds and characters within my own imagination. However, nothing is better than gathering a group of people to tell stories with. Having a group to imagine, dream, and explore with is absolutely the most rewarding experience I have been given, and I so really want to deliver that same experience to you. I have been a Game Master since I was twelve, and ever since then, I have had a deep passion for all forms of Role Playing and storytelling. As a GM, I tend to love having complex PC's to make a narrative around, a heroic story with difficult choices, and epic combats that are both tactical and full of character interaction. I am very flexible with game systems and knowledgeable of mechanics. I enjoy GM'ing many different games and genres, including classics like horror, fantasy, or sci-fi. If all of this sounds good to you, I'd definitely love to be your GM sometime :).

GM Style

* Loves roleplay and character choice. * Tries to encourage PC interaction and teamwork. * Builds a lot of maps and handouts to help immerse you into the story. * Builds a breathing world. * Does many character voices. * Occasional large (grid-based) combats during epic moments. * Focuses on the tension and drama of the current situation. * Takes the game seriously (but of course, its a game after all!) * Is the PC's number 1 fan, but that includes challenging them in as many ways as possible. * Fun and immersion over mechanics.

Rain has some of the most interesting world building of any game I’ve ever gotten to take part in. Her pantheons in particular are fascinating. Big recommend

She’s a genuinely fantastic writer and storyteller, she will help you and adapt both the game and your character to make sure you’re having as much fun as you can. She is great at making combats feel fair but challenging, character interactions feel rich but not forced, and is just an outright pleasant and fun time to be around at the table.

One of the best storytellers I’ve ever seen. Every session she has me on the edge of my seat. I’m normal about her campaigns and you will be too.

rain is my favorite dm, the way she finds ways to let players show off or even take things from the players characters and make them relevant to the game at large, its so much fun! and i plan to play games with her for however long she will let me

All I can say about Rain's games is that they are always exciting and full of interesting little quirks. I've been one of their players for a very long time, and I've seen them get really really good at GM'ing as a whole. They are extremely passionate about building worlds and giving them true depth. Overall, one of my favorite people to play games with.
