About me
Hi, I'm Sonder, I use she/her pronouns, and I've been playing and GM-ing TTRPGs for about 5 years, and designing them for about 2. I love collaborative storytelling and greatly enjoy tailoring narratives for characters. I've run a variety of TTRPGs spanning various systems and genres such as Monster of the Week, Masks, The Between, Absurdia, and a variety of other PbtAs. I'm also familiar with similar systems such as FitD, Belonging Outside Belonging, Rooted in Trophy, and the Resistance system. I would be more than happy to tailor any of these games to suit your table's needs! I'm also open to running any other rules-light TTRPGs of a similar nature, so feel free to reach out to me anytime!
GM Style
I believe in immersive roleplay and involved narratives. I try to tailor the setting and story to include the player characters' backstories and work with/for their personalities. I also enjoy worldbuilding and customizing settings (and, on occassion, mechanics) on the go as necessary. I ensure my table is a safe place by using Lines and Veils, the X-Card, and the Open-Door Policy as safety tools.

Inclusive
Awesome storyteller, well-prepared, and setup. She is calm and attentive while making sure everyone gets their say and role to play. I have truly enjoyed the few one-shots I have played so far: Spire, The Between, … I look forward to more, and maybe even some short campaigns.
Sonders games are phenomenal. She encourages and inspires collaborative storytelling through role play between players as well as between players and the GM (which is imo is the most important thing in TTRPG exfeot not every GM is good at that) and allows space for players to thoroughly dig into the characters within stories that are full of intrigues, substance, and depth. She runs narrative driven systems which is also a big positive for players looking to try out games outside of the D&D monopoly. I've always felt extraordinarily emerged in the stories we ended up creating together as the sessions always felt more like interactive episodes of a great TV show rather than simply a game.
Wonder is an amazing GM! I’ve done one shots with her for both MOTW and The Between and she did a great job going over the rules both times in a way that let us get right into the game. She’s a great story teller and is great at encouraging role-play even in a one shot.
