About me

My name's Erin, also known as Travel Nerd Erin. I'm a nurse educatorby trade who also has a deep love for storytelling. I've been a GM/storyteller for over 15 years. My deep loves are gothic horror and Asian folklore inspired stories. I've had the opportunity to DM stories of my own making at events like Gen Con and D3 at Sea, and it is an honor to have such a variety of opportunities to facilitate weaving incredible stories with people from all over the world. While D&D tends to be my primary focus as a GM, I also love other systems! I'm particularly interested in Through the Breach, Vampire the Masquerade, and a number of Powered by the Apocalypse games. Exploring diverse settings and systems is a love of mine, and I love to introduce folks to new options in gaming.

GM Style

I want to create as immersive an experience as possible where players can truly feel that they get to become their characters during the game. I love using visuals like character portraits and maps alongside detailed narrative descriptions. I also utilize sound effects and music where possible to increase the level of immersion and am known for plenty having an array of NPC voices as my disposal. My games focus heavily on roleplay, centering around character actions and decisions (though I do love a healthy dose of what are hopefully interesting and challenging combat in systems like D&D that are built for it). I believe that players should feel that their characters are the ones driving the story and their decisions matter. My core style as a DM is that character actions should matter and drive the story, character development takes front and center, and success in a game looks like creating a satisfying and immersive story supported by the system and mechanics.
