About me

TTRPG player based in Melbourne (AEST) looking for campaigns with strong worldbuilding, narrative depth, and systems that have a clear design philosophy. I'm drawn to exploration, discovery, and problem-solving not memory-loading adventures and characters that are user manuals, which need a calculator and a glossary to play. I'm here for fun not homework ;). I engage best with GMs who run structured, humourous (even if the themes are dark or heavy) and well-paced sessions. I prefer groups that take the fiction seriously without taking themselves too seriously, no alpha gaming, no arrogance, no righteousness or meme-heavy tables. Groups that are here for the game not their personal politics. My favourite systems so far has been Numenera, Cypher System, Call of Cthulhu and Cosmere. Currently looking for: Coriolis: The Third Horizon, One Ring 2e, Blades in the Dark and Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. I'm good with heavy, dark gritty themes that aren't gratuitous.

Scarlet was a lot of fun, bringing charisma, performance, atmosphere and humour to the games she GMs. She knew the system well and was great at teaching the newbies like me. She runs a very inclusive environment that focuses first on player safety and identity. Highly recommended!

Charley took us through the new TTRPG Time Without Tide. For a brand-new system, Charley created an environment that was focused on the players and helping everyone navigate the system. It was enjoyable session and she was a friendly GM generous with her time and instruction, and it was also good to try a new VTT. Great music selection too!

The 6-7 hour one-shot with Mika was great fun! Very original and layered campaign, satisfying puzzles and conflicts and all-around a friendly, welcoming and passionate GM.

Just played an Avatar one-shot with Bri and it was a blast. She was great and patient at teaching newbies like me who aren't familiar with the Avatar/powered by the apocalypse system, she had a great sense of humour, and was generous with her time and her improv. Would recommend if you're looking for a funny, laid back, patient and welcoming GM :)

I played an into to Cypher 2e with KimPossible, and she was such a good GM. She was structured yet very flexible, engaged and fantastic teacher who taught everyone the system in a way that tied into the gameplay very well. Her story was intricate, creative and imaginative and I highly recommend her for any players looking to start a Cypher campaign!
