About Brooke Elliott
Hi! My name is Brooke, and I’m passionate about role playing and storytelling. I’ve been involved in TTRPGs for 5 years and GMing for 4 years. I’m most acquainted with Cyberpunk RED (both in the core 2045 and 2077 setting with the Edgerunners Mission Kit). I’ve GMed over 100 Cyberpunk RED games, whether they be in a campaign, living community, or one-shot format. I’ve also played hundreds of Cyberpunk Red games. In addition, I’ve run games of Cy_borg, CBR + PNK, Marvel Multiverse, Shadowrun 2nd Edition, and Cyberpunk 2020. I also have experience playing MASKS and Fallout 2d20. I enjoy trying new systems, so if anyone wants to play anything from Vampire the Masquerade to Brindlewood Bay, I’m down. I can run DnD if need be, but my hope is to give other games the spotlight they deserve. What brings me to RPGs, and to GMing, is my love of acting. I enjoy role playing and creating a world and stories where people can deeply inhabit their characters around fun, life-like NPCs. What’s most important to me is my players feel comfortable and have fun, and as a femme member of the LGBTQIA+ community, that especially means welcoming those who may have felt excluded from the ttrpg community in the past.

How Brooke Elliott runs games
The most important thing to me, as a GM, is that we’re all having fun and feel safe. Besides that, I love role playing! I like putting people in a world where they can deeply connect with their characters, their story, and their world. I also like doing voices. My games have been described as “Action Comedies,” where the overall tone is pretty light, but there are serious and even dark things that will take place. I’ve run both incredibly combat-heavy and combat-light games, and am willing to shape combat intensity to the players’ desires. To me, the most important thing about combat is that it makes narrative sense. This means some encounters might be a breeze, and some might be the full session. As someone focused on role playing, each continuous character gets a plot line that intersects with the overall narrative. I’m a very chill and open GM, so I like to work with the player on their narrative. My games do have plots, which I would describe as a highway. There’s a general direction that they head, but you can get off at exits or take detours from the plot. I am also a fairly mechanical GM—I tend to call for a fair number of checks, though I put in effort to use the full array of skills. I ask my players to describe what they are doing, and call for a check based off their description. I believe the story is all of ours, together, and thus players have a voice in the narrative and group decisions.

I once ran a session...
Where I got so into character, I ate paper because the npc was a woman ravenously tearing apart food with her mouth, and it was the closest thing for me to rip into.
My games focus on...
Fun! Story, role play, and character development
Rules are...
Important vehicles for gameplay and role play. I’m mostly RAW, but am willing to make changes or add homebrew where necessary or agreed upon.
Brooke Elliott's ideal table
My table is very relaxed and serious about the game. I like chill people who are interested in the story and their characters. My ideal players are excited about role play and curious about the story, but can also have a laugh and are primarily focused on having a good time together. I like team players, as I’m a big believer of the story belonging to everyone.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Action Comedies
I love it when a player
Gets excited and in depth with they describe their actions! For example, instead of “I shoot him,” they say, “I spin my pistol in my hand, squint, and shoot him while yelling, ‘Over here, ugly!’”
