About me

I have 6+ years of experience running 5e and a handful of years running Pathfinder Second Edition! I've also run a few other systems like Delta Green, Monster of the Week and Savage Worlds! I love the atmosphere of running a game where everyone is deep into their characters and what they're doing. I am currently running Pathfinder: Kingmaker and a homebrew 5e campaign called Lymedria! I have currently found that I have enough time to run more games and am looking for people to share the time with.

GM Style

I'm a more relaxed DM erring towards the rule of cool, letting players be animated and roleplay heavy! However, rules still exist for a reason :) I adore roleplay and give people ample time to roleplay out even the smallest scenes then I keep track of those small things and try to incorporate them into the story if I can.

They are an amazing GM that made me feel comfortable at the virtual table and very welcomed and inclusive. They also do any amazing job at craft great stories and rolling in your backstory and making amazing things come from it.

Rui has been running Kingmaker for me for roughly 6 months now. She has done a great job integrating character backstories into the world and keeping things fresh. She tends to be quite open to creative ideas, even if it ruins her 'nefarious' plans. I highly recommend her as a GM
