About me

Hi! I’m Shyann & I'm just your average spellcaster! 🧙‍♀️ If you could look back to 2008, you'd see an awkward group of high school theater nerds with the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition Adventure Game gathered behind the school's stage curtain. There weren't enough premade characters to go around, so a girl with square-rimmed glasses picked up the Adventure Book to guide her friends through the story. That was me. Since then, I've been entrusted with the mantle of "Game Master." Over the years, my foundations in theater and improv have shaped my approach to storytelling, and my professional experience as a front-end web developer has added a digital edge to my game sessions. With 2,000+ development and play hours on Foundry VTT, I combine creativity with technical expertise to craft cinematic, online adventures! I’m also a growing game designer, having created "Grimoires & Gallantry," a 132-page magic academy TTRPG homebrew system.

GM Style

I run online games like you’re a guest in my home. 🫖 I value creating 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. Your character is an essential piece of the narrative we’re writing together! 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 Level 3 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. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾♀️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🧠🦿🕊️
