About me

Office worker by day, D&D game master by night! Hi, I'm Samantha and I can't wait to play with you! While I'm relatively new to the world of D&D, I took to it like a fish in water! Now, I want to bring to life the characters and worlds I've grown to love for you. Am I a pro? I'm pro-ish. This is what I do after my day job, but I take characters, backstory, world building, scene setting, and immersive story telling very seriously. I will work with you on developing any aspect of your character's backstory, and also work to build it in to the overarching plot of a campaign. I do accents for my NPCs, and I am constantly learning to improve this skill. As a GM part of the Only Dragons community, I have access to Foundry, Discord, and a plethora of other resources. I use enhanced/custom maps, 3D minis (Hero Forge), and unique handouts. Let's jump into the world of Dungeons & Dragons together!

She was an amazing newer DM, very fair and fun to play with. Would defiantly love to have her as a DM again.

I'm limited by what I can choose above, but I'd also add that Sam is very knowledgeable about the game, it's mechanics, and the world in which the story takes. It's very clear that she was prepared enough to make good decisions about our choices, but flexible enough to adapt when those choices led to fuckery. Lots of fun and would absolutely love to play at her table anytime!

Sam is an incredible DM! She ran a dungeon crawl for us, and it was an awesome experience! She allowed for players to use their creativity, brains, and come up with a plan. She is very good about using the rule of cool, if it makes sense then go ahead. She also was very welcoming to a player who was playing their first ever D&D game. Sam's personality is great and her ability to walk players through the game was incredible! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND SAM AS A DM!

Man, that one-shot heist was a blast! Samantha was on fire. Not only did she paint an incredible world with every character getting their own standout voice, but she also made sure we all had room to play our characters exactly how we imagined. Our decisions mattered! A fair DM who found the perfect balance between rules as written and the rule of cool. On a personal note, I've got to give her extra props for helping me get the hang of the tools in Foundry. It could've been overwhelming, but she made it a breeze. Playing at her table was a treat, and I’m itching for the next epic journey! Give Samantha a try, you won't regret it!

Wow, what a one-shot heist adventure! Sam totally rocked it. The way she brought the world to life, giving each character their own unique voice, was just next level. It felt awesome knowing we could really dive deep into our roles, and she gave us the space to make our characters truly our own. Every choice felt like it had weight and mattered, and I was super impressed with how she handled all our wild, out-of-the-box decisions, always keeping things fair and flowing. Most of all, it was just a blast playing under her guidance. Can't wait for the next adventure with her leading the way!
