About me

Check out my dedicated RP discord if you want to chat with me or some of the players who I GM for: https://discord.gg/VMMGdgSg3M I'm a trans GM with a decade of GMing experience, including professionally for corporate clients and as the in-house GM of Strawberry Fields Interactive. Fantasy roleplay is my life: From high school theatre to university-level demonology courses, I'm always looking to pick up new skills that will level up my RP game.

GM Style

I typically DM roleplay-centred adventures. Mysteries and interwoven plot threads hang over the campaign and are revealed over time as the party delves into old ruins or gets mixed up in faction intrigue. I roleplay most NPC conversations and streamline dialogue when necessary for pacing. Combat can be sparse or frequent, it depends on the routes the party chooses. I work closely with the players on their characters and backstories and spend a good deal of time ensuring everything integrates into the setting. To help facilitate dynamic characters, I ask every player for their character's greatest regrets and aspirations. I also request that players help me develop at least one NPC that their character considers an ally, and one NPC that their character doesn't get along with. This helps me populate the world in such a way that it feels lived in by the characters. I try to create a living and breathing world that flows around the party. I believe strongly in maintaining player agency and choice. I usually provide the party with multiple plot hooks at any given time, allowing them the opportunity to pick and choose based on their own priorities. We craft a story together as the parties' actions (or inactions) dynamically influence the world around them. Ultimately, my priority is that everyone has fun. I try to make sure everyone has a chance to share the spotlight, I often invoke the rule of cool when something isn't technically RAW but is creative and fun, and allow a certain degree of creative freedom in reflavouring class features and spells. My table has a few hard rules: Keep it clean: We've all heard horror stories of groups that forget that all the characters are being played by people who are uncomfortable with unwanted advances and indecent comments. I'm not saying that the bard can't flirt with the barmaid and fade to black, or that two player characters can't be lovers. Just that anything explicit, overt, or indecent has no place at my table. No bigotry: This should be self-explanatory. If you are racist, sexist, LGBTQ+ phobic, etc, then you should not be at my table. Share the spotlight: Everyone wants to be the main character, but there are often 5 or 6 main characters in one party. Some players are naturally shy and others more outspoken and that's fine, but understand when it's someone else's time to shine and don't constantly try and become the center of attention. Party cohesion, PVP, and "It's what my character would do": There's an unspoken rule in D&D that almost everyone abides by: There are limitations to the line "it's what my character would do", if actions would risk breaking apart the party cohesion or causing hurt feelings amongst players, your character wouldn't do it. We're here to have fun together. Intercharacter conflict is good drama, but it should never risk derailing the campaign or leaving people feeling hurt in real life. PVP should never happen, if things are reaching the point of PVP then a stop should have been put to the situation a long time beforehand. The one exception to this rule is if it has been discussed beforehand and integrated into the plot. No joke characters/Chaotic Neutral is not a personality: If your character is inspired by the Puffin Forest's character Abserd, you're probably looking for another DM. Comedic relief is valuable entertainment, but if your character's entire existence is to be intolerable, ridiculous, or to constantly cause problems, that simply won't mesh with my style.
