About Raven

Ciao, I'm Raven. I'm an autistic, LGBTQIA+, mixed-race immigrant with an absolute intolerance for intolerance. My table is a safe space for anyone and everyone who comes to it from a place of respect and curiosity. I'm a life-long gamer and forever DM/GM. I'm system-agnostic, though the majority of my recent games have been the usual suspects: D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 1e (and now 2e). I don't use generative AI and I don't use any resources that I know to have been created using generative AI. My portrait was commissioned from the inimitable Leesha Hannigan. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

I got started GMing...

when I was a kid. Then, when I came back to the hobby as an adult, I was the only one in my group who had ever played before, so it just naturally fell to me to run the first few sessions and I never really stopped!

How Raven runs games

I'm a player-first GM. I want the players at the table to have as much agency as possible. Whether it's world-building, scene-setting, or even the hand of fate, I want a player to be in the driver's seat. As the GM, I see my role as a facilitator of adventure who operates the machine behind the game. What that looks like in practice varies from system to system, but I never want a player to feel like they're just an actor in a story that I'm writing. I enjoy a mixture of roleplay and diceplay, though whether the diceplay takes the form of tactical combat, skill challenges, or something else depends entirely on the biases of the system and the preferences of the table.
