About Summy

😄 Thanks for stopping by! My name is Summy, I'm a massive storytelling nerd from British Columbia who specializes in providing a safe, inclusive table for all players to enjoy cinematic storytelling together. I've been a TTRPG player and GM for more than half my life. My passion is running TTRPG games within the genres of gothic and folk horror, as well as high and dark fantasy, with the occasional zany adventure as a breath of fresh air. My favorite official D&D settings are Barovia (for creating). Join one of my campaigns if you're looking for a consistent game run by an enthusiastic and experienced GM with a strong belief in professional ethics as well as creating a welcoming environment for all! Just note I am intolerant to intolerance!

How Summy runs games

Here are my three greatest strengths as a GM, as voted on by my players: 🎨Creativity🎨 * Even when running published modules, I make it my own. I've run Curse of Strahd for players who had already played through the module and they were on their toes throughout the entire campaign. * I love to improvise and expand upon your ideas! Do the unexpected and try new things! We'll work together to make something cool on the spot. 🌈Inclusivity🌈 * As a queer person, I understand how intimidating it can be to play with strangers online, much less putting your voice out there at all. * I have a zero-tolerance policy for TRASH (transphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, and homophobia). 🎬Storytelling🎬 * The game is yours. Twist it, bend it, break it. The world is yours to explore and experience. My role is to make it come alive. * I run campaigns I'm passionate about, but your character's journey is the heart of the story.
