About me

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.

GM Style

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.

I have LOVED playing DnD with Talia. I was new to the game and very nervous about getting started. She made it seamless, fun, and challenging all at once. It has been a blast - engaging, entertaining, intriguiging and ever so very, very creative. I have been so impressed by her patience, her story telling, her quick wit, and the room for players to learn and be creative. Thank you so much for this great experience.

Talia is a great GM! Fun, focused, encouraging us to embrace unique characters, and willing to help explaining the new features of Roll20 (I personally missed a bunch of updates since 2018, and it was invaluable to have someone walk me through it). Definitely recommend!

They worked hard on coming up with not only teaching how to create a character but worked very hard to come up with a campaign pitch that was fun and engaging.
