About me

Hi everyone, I'm Tory. I've been an avid TTRPG player and GM for over 8 years now. I love crafting worlds and creating cool stories with fun people, and I always want to help more people get into playing. I do my best to create a gaming space where everyone feels safe and welcome. As a trans woman whose experience with RPGs helped me explore myself, giving my players (of any background) space to do the same if needed, and to just be comfortable and respected is super important to me. As long as you're kind, considerate, and want to play as a team, you're welcome at my "table." Games I can run: - D&D 5e (most experienced) - Star Wars 5e - Daggerheart - Call of Cthulhu - Alien RPG - Fallout RPG - Dishonored RPG - The Witcher RPG

GM Style

I love fun roleplay, mystery, intrigue, exploration, intense combat, and the occasional puzzle. I try to make my games a mix of all those elements so every type of player has fun and finds something to engage with. I try to say yes whenever a player proposes something and allow for awesome memorable moments, allowing for rule of cool to take precedence (within reason). In ongoing campaigns, I try to create character arcs for each PC, sometimes connecting character backstories to the main plot in ways players might not expect. I love homebrewing and coming up with enemies and encounters that surprise my players.

Tory has been fantastic so far. She knows her stuff when it comes to the rules, the storytelling and role-playing is great, and she gets excited for us when we do well. She encourages a lot of creativity from us when we problem-solve too. Definitely recommend her.

A wonderful and patient Gm with amazing stories and compelling NPCs! But seriously, this was the first campaign I've been in on this site and it's been so fun and the Gm, Tory, has been so amazing! Definitely give her a try! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Tory is an amazing DM. It<s my first game online and she made me feel comfortable from the start. The story is amazing, we have a lot of place for our own creativity and interaction with PC and NPC, which I appreciate a lot. Shes also very attentive to her player's needs and knows the rules pretty well!

I highly recommend Tory as a GM. She is a great storyteller. Her knowledge of the lore for the worlds she runs is incredible. She truly listens and takes your advice as a player. Join one of her games you will not be disappointed.
