About Tom the Lunch Lady

I have been playing TTRPGs off and on for a lot of my life, and have been a GM or DM or Judge since I started. I am a big believer in working with my players to develop and drive the narrative, and then working as an impartial arbiter when making rulings. I love theatre of the mind (playing without maps and minis), improvisation and letting the players explore all the options for problem solving they can come up with. I have written a few stories and modules for my game groups, and would love to work with you and your friends to build and explore a new world.

How Tom the Lunch Lady runs games

I enjoy player driven narrative and cooperative story development, as well as doing role play and voices if the scene calls for it. “Theatre of the mind” play is my preferred game style for several reasons including it has a low barrier of entry for new players and encourages everyone at the table to be invested in play. I am always interested in learning new games and systems, so if you want to try something out I would love to learn it with you.
