About Talia E. B.

Championing indie RPGs since at least 2004! I've been doing tabletop since I could roll a die, and I'm here to run dramatic, character-driven campaigns - particularly anime inspired games.

How Talia E. B. runs games

I do primarily character driven games with dramatic choices and unique character voices and motives, sometimes at the expense of tight plotting. I do great improv. Most of my settings are homebrew with attention given to worldbuilding details. I've gotten more into tactical play recently with Valor: Heroic Roleplaying and Lancer, but with most other games favor theatre of the mind.
