About me
Hello! I’m Kat! I run D&D 5e and Ten Candles. My focus is primarily on narrative, storytelling, and character development. I go all in on the RP aspect of table top with mood lighting, exciting visuals, mood music, character voices, and improvisation. Let’s tell a thrilling tale together! I am currently running a Drop-In Style Campaign (listed as one-shots here on SPG) where players (you!) are members of the Galesworn Guild, an adventuring collective of explorers and warriors who swear by the winds to guide them to fortune and fame. With a new one shot adventure each week, adventurers can enjoy them as often or sparingly as they like as this anthology of stories accommodates drop ins. To find listings for this campaign, please visit my profile page. Games take place every Friday at 7:30PM EDT. Please feel free to message me with any questions!
GM Style
My favourite part of the ttrpg experience is being able to collaborate with imaginative folks to create an exciting, interesting, unforgettable story. I believe everyone has something special to bring to the table and to the tale we are weaving together. That doesn’t mean I don’t live for some crunchy combat and battle tactics! A good fight can really spice up a story! As a GM I bring descriptive settings and visuals, unique character voices and personalities, interesting plot choices for the players, and heaps of enthusiasm! I love to collaborate with everyone at my table so that each player leaves the game feeling that they have uniquely influenced the narrative in a way no one else can.

Storytelling
I play with a lot of DMs, in person, virtually, and at Cons. There are a lot of different styles, but my favorite is the ones that are in it for the player creativity. iMO, D&D is first and foremost cooperative story telling, And the stories that you remember are not the grindy battles, but the ones where a team effort of imagination forged an experience that exceeds each individual players fantasy vision. A DM that fosters and celebrates this is the best that the players can hope for, Kat falls squarely in that camp.
Kat runs a great game. She has a very upbeat, enthusiastic style of game management that made her table a joy to play at. Kat has a good grasp of the rules and understands when to bend them a little to allow for rule of cool/the story and players to progress. I had a great time and I highly recommend her for players looking for a smart, upbeat, player-focused GM.
My session with Kat was the very first time I played DnD and I honestly feel like I couldn't have had a better first experience. She was kind, patient, and made playing feel fun and natural despite my being nervous. The entire party was a blast and I was glad I grabbed a spot in this session and can't wait to play the next. Do yourself a favor and jump in one of her games :)
Kat is an amazing DM! I had a great time during my first one-shot with her. She was very good at pivoting quickly when things weren't going as planned. She's a great storyteller, but she also leaves a lot of room for her players to find their own footing in the narrative. I was nervous because I hadn't played D&D in a while, but she was so friendly and welcoming, that those nerves flew straight out the window. I'll definitely join another session in the future!
I had a great time playing in Kat’s game! They’re super welcoming for people of all levels, the story felt engaging right away, and she created a good balance between moving the storyline forward & giving the party freedom to explore silly tangents and RP with each other. I’m looking forward to playing in future session & excited to see where the story goes!
