About me

Hello! My name is Ash, and I have been running and playing in D&D5e games for 10+ years. I learned the system by GMing originally, and have taught dozens of new players how to create a character, fill out their sheets, and play through the basic and advanced rules of the game. I have experience running both single-session and long-term campaigns. I have completed a handful of games that have lasted years on end, and I currently organize and lead a group of 8 players through a long-term campaign that, at the time of writing, has been running every week for 2 years straight. I also host a medium-sized Discord server, where people can find groups to play with. I always value respect and humility in all of my groups. Taking feedback and using it to become better is at the core of my GMing style. I believe that fun, agency, and companionship are held above all else when playing TTRPGs. I also believe that setting guidelines and boundaries prior to playing is of great importance, to ensure that everyone feels comfortable moving forward.

GM Style

I love teaching new players all that I can about the game! I will always take steps to help members of my groups create their characters, fill in their sheets, and make everything uniquely theirs! Before playing with a group, it's important to get together and go over what everyone is comfortable with, expecting, or does not want to see during the course of the campaign. This includes setting forward any house rules I might implement, as well as my own boundaries and expectations. I also like to have 1-on-1 interactions with my players during this time, so that I can clear up any questions or concerns that they might have, and help them understand the setting of the campaign. Rules are there for a reason, but I will always value fun and creativity over number-crunching. If my players are having fun, I am. And that is what lies at the heart of the game. I'm not afraid to create new house rules to ensure that everyone at the table is enjoying themselves. I enjoy roleplaying immensely, but I understand that it is not for everyone! I always try to encourage players to go outside of their comfort zone and find something that works for them, even if that is as simple as changing the pitch of their voice. Despite this, I know that there is a comfort in playing what you are used to, and I strive to maintain that comfort throughout the game.
