About me

I'm RPG Mama, a passionate TTRPG enthusiast with over 11 years of D&D player experience and a lifelong love for board games. As a mom and early childhood teacher, I thrive on creativity and collaboration, which I bring to the gaming table. I love crafting immersive stories where players can take the lead, solve mysteries, and engage in thrilling combat. I’m known for using character voices, drawing on my storytelling experience with children to create dynamic and engaging NPCs. This adds an extra layer of fun and immersion to our adventures. When I’m not rolling dice or crafting stories, you can find me spending time with my family, exploring new games, or enjoying a good book. I’m always eager to connect with fellow gamers and create memorable experiences together!

GM Style

As a mom and early childhood teacher, I’m passionate about fostering creativity and collaboration at the gaming table. I love letting my players take the lead, encouraging them to come up with innovative solutions to challenges and uncover the mysteries woven into the story. While I enjoy combat-heavy campaigns, I equally embrace roleplay, using character voices to enrich the narrative and immerse everyone in the experience. I also like to incorporate humor and ties to pop culture, making the game feel relatable and fun. I enjoy weaving in custom items, NPCs, and tangible rewards that make players feel their achievements have real significance. I often add physical tokens or references to ground their adventures in a memorable way. I prioritize open dialogue and encourage feedback, creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas. My background as a teacher helps me support and uplift all players, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard. Notable Campaigns: During the COVID era, I ran Tomb of Annihilation and creatively integrated Joe Exotic from Tiger King as an NPC, complete with a humorous side quest that added a fun twist to the adventure. For my Halloween special, I included Easter eggs from popular horror movies, creating an exciting blend of nostalgia and thrills for my players. As new GM in 2024, I’m excited to create dynamic adventures that spark imagination and collaboration. I aim to blend engaging storytelling with opportunities for players to shine, making each session an unforgettable experience filled with laughter and nostalgia. Availability: I’m available on weekdays after 8 PM EST and have flexible hours on weekends.

I reached out to RPG Mama to run a short campaign for me and my friends and she was dependable, creative, and had lots of fun with it. The group I brought had never played together online and RPG Mama made the whole thing seamless and streamlined for us all, all with a kind spirit. The campaign was led by curiosity and playfulness and we all really enjoyed ourselves.

RPG mama does a great job of trying to take her stars and wishes (what you liked and didn't) from the sessions and improve the next ones. I have played a one shot with her and I am in an active campaign as well. I enjoy that she has flexible times and she teaches the rules as you play so it is still fun and instructive. I cannot recommend her High enough!

RPG Mama has got to be one of the best teachers ive had the luck of learning from. Always attentive and guiding. Has no issues with reaching out when you need help with developing your character and drives the group to have a fun session each time.

RPG Mama is amazing. She allows you to really get into your character and make decisions on what you think the character would. I haven't been playing very long but her sessions are inviting.
