About Story Time Arcana

I am a Lawyer in real life, but the Rule of Cool is the law at my table! I’ve been playing RPGs for decades, tabletop games for several years, and GMing for the better part of one. I have written my own campaigns and am excited to run them in the near future! I am an avid Audible fantasy reader- laugh, laugh. I minored in Theatre and Psychology in College and took a dialects course. I have always loved accents while also avoiding trivial stereotypes. My joy is being the one in the know and creating fantastical and challenging moments. My greatest love, outside of the law and my family, is giving people a rewarding and fulfilling outlet from the real world. Providing a platform for everyday people to conquer seemingly insurmountable odds is what makes me want to be a better GM. Sharing our successes and failures in a healthy and inspiring environment is what makes DnD so addictive. Helping create memorable experiences for people is why I GM. The payoff for me as a GM is in the incredible stories we can tell- just by rolling some math rocks around.

How Story Time Arcana runs games

✨ What You Can Expect: Inclusive & Welcoming Vibes: This is a space for anyone and everyone. No gatekeeping, no pressure—just collaborative storytelling and good vibes. Obvious limitations on pervs... duh. Roleplay-Driven Narrative: With my background in acting and love for character work, expect rich NPCs, immersive scenes, and a world that reacts to player choices. Voices & Theater of the Mind (or maps if you like): I love diving into characters and using distinct voices to bring the world to life. I use DnD beyond maps to help ground the story but give as much verbal illustration as possible to color in the details. Streamlined Combat: Combat that keeps the pace up while still feeling cinematic and strategic. Creative Freedom: Player Agency is fundamental to my games. I balance that with the rules. But as I always say, there is room for more cool at every table- rules be damned! Music/Ambiance: I LOVE music and often use Spotify/YouTube to curate my sessions. This helps set the tone and ambiance of a setting or fight. My table is all about telling an epic story together. If you love drama, action, humor, and a touch of chaos—we’re probably a great fit!
