โœ… Due to my improv experience, I almost always say, โ€œYes, and!โ€ to any creative ideas players come up with. โœ… I have worked in escape rooms across the country, and bring all of my puzzle and game mastery experience to the table! โœ… Players are encouraged to change the world setting; this is YOUR game as much as it is mine! โœ… My house rules are publicly listed. โœ… You will always be allowed to express yourself, no matter what; my games are a safe space! โœ… I make custom battle maps tailored to your adventure, as well as custom tokens for the players characters. ๐Ÿ•ถ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐†๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ“ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž! โฑ ๐ƒ๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ž ๐š ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ? ๐‹๐ž๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ˆ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง ๐š ๐ ๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐จ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ๐ซ๐š ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ž!
