About me
Howdy! I'm Eli (they/them). I've been playing TTRPGs for about 6 years and running them for 5 years. I decided to start publicly running games because I want more opportunities to create meaningful stories with people of different backgrounds. I am a GM who strives for everyone to have a good time in my games and I accomplish that by using safety tools, stars and wishes, and an open line of communication between me and my players. I want to create unforgettable stories with my players and hope that you will join me in this goal.
GM Style
The games that I run are roleplay heavy. You do not need experience with extensive RP, but being willing to engage and learn is a must. I very much lean into collaborative storytelling, so I give my players the opportunity to narrate their actions as well as give more important elements to the story (eg. what does it look like when you do X, why does this person owe you, etc).

Eli is a great keeper for Monster of the Week. He facilitated a great party dynamic while also subtly engineering that rare kind of finale that pitted the players against themselves. The motel from hell in his Stillmist Motel one-shot is a place you really love to hate. Eli also clearly prioritizes player safety, which is always a plus but especially for a horror adventure. Would absolutely play again.
I've played a couple of different games with Eli, but this is the first one-shot. Eli's a wonderful GM and I appreciate their clear communication and preparation before a game. They make it as easy as possible and are open to any questions. During the game, they're great about allowing for player creativity and riffing off of a player's roll. I've had a fun time getting to play with any group with Eli as the GM. Thanks!
Eli is a super nice and talented GM. He has been super understanding of me being a new player and was never annoyed with having to explain things to me. He's super creative and really goes with the flow and reacts to character changes. I would play another adventure with Eli as a GM.
Eli is an excellent, caring GM who gives players plenty of room both to roleplay and to explore and develop their characters' stories. Eli is great at weaving it all into an ongoing narrative that engages everyone at the virtual table. If you haven't gamed with Eli, I highly recommend doing so!
