About me

Stay awhile and listen! After leaving gamer culture behind during the pandemic, TTRPGs became the new third place for me. My community is a diverse & queer space that seeks to support folks from all stripes so long as everyone is respectful of one another. If you're seeking connection, community, and an opportunity to build a compelling saga on top of those, this is the place for you. Top 2.5% GM

GM Style

Here's some common themes for my groups: Roleplay Focused - Characters work to move the story forward through exploration + interaction but the world is dynamic too. We often engage in less-than-linear stories that have something for everyone. It's likely we'll go a session without combat here and there, especially dependent on system. Variety of Choice - A wide selection of thoroughly vetted and play tested character options and a community culture that supports decisions outside the framework of "most optimal". Gritty. Tactical. Combat. - The action is snappy but not without it's nail-biting moments. Objectives beyond hack'n'slash, wily rivals, unique challenges, mastermind BBEGs, and interactive environments keep tactics fresh. Social Contract ➕Collaborative party play ❌No PVP ✔️There's no stupid questions 🛡️ A safe and inclusive table 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ & Neurodivergent Friendly (♾️🦋GM) VTT Experience + Assets 🧰Playtested + vetted 3rd party content 📜Motley maps of every taste 🐉Much more than bog standard monsters 🎶Curated playlists and dynamic soundscapes 🛠️Premium DnDBeyond with all content 🛑No generative AI art/text/prompts used Overall Style 🌟Let's find out WHO your character is 🎞️Cinematic storytelling 🏰 Responsive worlds 🤝We're here to tell a story - I'm here to help! 🎯 Fights with flair, encounters that matter Community Benefits 🖼️PC portraits and custom token art 🟪Cameos in ongoing adventures 👥A community of like-minded adventurers Frequently Asked Questions: I'm signing up for a game that takes place today - Can I play today/tonight? Nope, sorry. The 24hr cutoff on my listings is to ensure we get a chance to chat before you join the community. What is your Session 0 like? 1.5 - 2hrs of getting to know the table and build connections. Introductions, covering safety tools, house rules, table culture. We will be rolling dice by the end of session, I promise. We will also be rolling dice for 30 weeks or more so making sure we all have the same idea of 'fun' is important. Can I audit/sit-in/listen to a game session to see if it's for me? Unfortunately, no. Space at the table is a privilege of folks that have signed up for a game and gone through onboarding, and that space is important to maintain as a safe and private place. How much combat can I expect? I dunno! I'm not keen to put a number on it as the table is gonna consist of a handful of other folks who likely want different things. If this is a top priority for you, this may be a sign that it won't be a good fit. Can my character be evil/difficult to work with? There are ways to play morally grey and evil characters that don't involve caricatures of these traits, but I generally would rather just run an evil party game. Is it okay to optimize/power-game? To be completely honest power fantasies are boring to me. Someone said it better than me here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Lk3w62-e4 Hey I have a homebrew thing I REALLY wanna play... Nothing personal kid *teleports behind you* but I have plenty of playtested and well-designed options that I've seen in action over the years. If you'd like a customized experience, please reach out for a custom game, as playtesting and doing game design on the fly are not offered when signing up for standard games.
