I got started GMing...
after a year of playing games. I wanted to write my own adventures and tell my own stories with my friends and now I've been able to tell stories with so many people across the world.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
patient, anything goes, and loves the rule of cool.
When I'm not running games I'm...
creating content elsewhere on the internet (including having a podcast called After the Table), building worlds, and playing with my cat Nick Furry.
How Shelly von Miller runs games
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.

I once ran a session...
where my players made an abnormally large bong and I made them roll their tool proficiency to make sure it worked.
Rules are...
are meant to be flexible. Let's tell stories and maybe roll some dice.
When it comes to voices
I sometimes get them right, but they will always have some whimsy and comedy mixed in.
Shelly von Miller's ideal table
Everyone deserves to be highlighted at my table! We are telling collaborative stories and no one is more important than the other. So, make sure we don't talk over one another, we have fun, and we are all safe.

I think it's a red flag when players...
don't want to work together. This is collaborative storytelling people. If you want to work alone, I can recommend some make your own adventure TTRPGs that might suit your needs.
I think metagaming...
okay in certain aspects. If this is a premade adventure, I don't want y'all prereading it, but if you know that your character would do something that would push for information that is another thing.
My perfect party mix is
chocolate chex mix. LOVE IT! Oh you mean for adventuring. As long as there some sort of healing, I'll make sure y'all have a good time.
