About me

Hi! I’m Shyann & I'm just your average spellcaster! 🧙‍♀️ If you could look back to 2008, you’d see an awkward gathering of high school theater kids rolling dice behind the school stage curtain. There weren’t enough character sheets in the starter set, so a girl with square-rimmed glasses grabbed the adventure booklet instead. That was me. From that fateful day, I’ve been entrusted with the mantle of Game Master. Over the years, my background in theater and improv has shaped my approach to GMing, and my experience as a professional web developer has added a digital edge to my game sessions. I combine creativity with technical expertise to craft engaging, online adventures that captivate my players! I’m also a growing game designer, having created "Grimoires & Gallantry," a 132-page Wizarding World TTRPG homebrew system that I developed exclusively for my Hogwarts & Camelot campaigns. For me, D&D goes beyond gameplay—it’s a chance to build friendships and share experiences that bring people together. I believe in creating a space where every player feels welcome and part of something special.

GM Style

I run online games like you’re a guest in my home. 🫖 I aim to create a welcoming, friendly space where everyone has a voice and every character has a story. I love helping players connect, share laughs, and build something special together. Your character is an essential piece of the narrative we’re writing together, and it’s so rewarding to watch the clever strategies and creative schemes you come up with unfold! My games are immersive and full of surprises, so you’re always on the edge of your seat! And if you want the adventure to continue after the session, I offer plenty of ways to stay engaged through character journals, mini-games, and hangouts in our Discord community. No matter your experience level, you’ll find a supportive, inclusive atmosphere here to settle in, be yourself, and enjoy an adventure shaped by you. Curious about our community?
