GM Style
Are you shy? That is all good. Are you a big RPer? Let's Go! Want some puzzles to wrack your brain? I got you. Let's have some fun and roleplay our heads off. I make sure everyone feels safe in the space I build because this is a collaborative effort. My tables are welcome for all.

Shelly was great and went with the flow. Despite the fact she was still newer with the content herself, she was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was also very patient with us as 5 out of the 6 of us at the table had never played before. I also forgot my badge and had to get one of the other table members to pick it up for me and she was incredibly understanding of the situation. Over all, my experience with Shelly was great and I would definitely play at one of her tables again and can't wait to see what she DMs in the future!
Super cute game! We played a game of Shelly's own creation and we played as cute bunnies putting on a tea party. It's super rules light and all you need is 3d6 for character generation and 2d6 for the rest of the game for rolls. It's super wholesome and you can play with a group of three. Shelly walked us through everything for creation, ran an incredible game, and I had an amazing time!
Played in a beta playtest of a game created by Shelly and had a great deal of fun. It was enjoyable seeing a game in its early stages and getting a feel for how new mechanics work. Shelly created a welcoming virtual space to game in with scene-setting visual aids, and was quick with an answer when any questions about the rules came up. She set the scene with descriptive narration, while also allowing us leeway to add to the scenes ourselves. Shelly also allowed for us, the players, to be very creative with how we used our characters' attributes, always leaning into the whatever-is-most-fun-yeah-let's-go-with-that mode of play. It was great gaming with her!
