About Ash
I am a story-teller at heart, and D&D has proven to be an excellent medium for me. I do aspire to be a published author, but telling amazing stories with friends will forever be my greatest passion. I strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment. My top priority is ensuring that my players feel safe and heard while playing in my games. Because of this, I have an open door policy. My players can approach me about anything and everything they need.

I became a GM because
I learned how to play D&D from a friend who's been playing since the 80s. He even mentored me so to speak on running games. I wanted to teach my friends in turn and became their DM. Until very recently, I'd been running games for them and even some coworkers who wanted to give D&D a try.
My favorite books are
The three fantasy series written by Sarah J. Maas and the Bright Falls series by Ashley Herring Blake. I'm a huge fan of fantasy and romance, especially queer romance.
My favorite shows/movies are
I adore animated shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, She-ra, The Owl House, RWBY, and Arcane to name a few. I recently watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and loved it immensely. The soundtrack has been on loop since.
How Ash runs games
I'd say I'm on the more flexible side when it comes to GMing. I can adjust according to what my players prefer whether its a heavier focus on roleplaying or combat. Typically, I run an even mix of both. The combat itself usually isn't very difficult or tactical. If you're looking for a gritty, hardcore experience, I'm afraid you won't find it here. I can run games that are light and chaotic, or very serious and emotional. It all depends on what my players feel comfortable putting in.

I deal with rules issues by...
Hearing out my players and their suggestions and making a final call on what I think is fair. I want my players to ask for or to recommend change, but I require respect for my decisions once they have been made.
My games focus on...
Telling a fun and compelling story for both my players and myself. I put much more emphasis on what would be cool or make sense for the story rather than the rules of the game. Though I do not toss the rules aside at every turn.
When it comes to voices
I certainly try my best, however, I am not as talented in that field as I am in others. It is something I endeavor to grow my skills in.
