PROFESSIONAL GM SERVICES
I am available for hire as a Game Master for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition!
I have been a D&D player and a GM since late 2017. This game has been a truly life-changing experience, and that is something that I wish to help impart upon those that are interested in what D&D has to offer.
Below, you will find information regarding my tabletop roleplaying values, as well as a "resume" highlighting what you can expect from me as your next potential GM.
MY TTRPG VALUES
Though I am genuinely happy to accept anyone at my table (so long as they are polite, mature, and contentious), I have my specialties and my soft spots, just like any other GM.
A SAFE SPACE
It's no secret that the world of TTPRGs has a dark underbelly that calls itself "misogyny". Of the many unfortunate things that come with this reality is that women and girls regularly avoid attempting to explore this wonderful hobby for fear of facing discrimination and sexual misconduct. As a woman myself, I strive to ensure that my games are a safe space for everyone - and especially women - to play and enjoy themselves.
WELCOME, NOOBS!
Let me cut to the chase: You do not need to understand the rules of D&D in order to get started. A good game master understands that the rules should not be a barrier for entry for new players. If you don't yet know what you're doing, but want to learn, I would love to assist you!
FOREVER GMS
It's happened to the best of us. You and your friends wanted to play D&D, but no one knew how to run a game, so you stepped up to the plate. Now it's been eons, and you're still trapped in the perpetual role of Game Master, with little hope for release. It's time to rest, my friend. Have a seat on the other side of the screen, and let someone else tell you a story, for once.
MY GM RESUME
How I Run My Game
I feel that it is important for a Game Master to define their values, the themes they focus on, and the kind of rulings they can be expected to make during a campaign. If you are considering hiring me as a GM, I encourage you to contact me and ask questions to see if my style of play aligns with what you find fun or compelling.
CHARACTER FOCUS
I incorporate a heavy emphasis upon player characters and their individual story arcs. I aim to deliberately structure my games around my players' characters, and their wants, needs, goals, and flaws. Though my games tend to be structured with the main story functioning as the "A Plot", and player character arcs as "B Plots", you can expect your character's personal arc to tie into the "A Plot" in some capacity as well.
IN-GAME POLITICS
In-game politics are central to many of my games. (Note: real world political leanings do not enter into my fantasy setting.) Though it is not required, I feel it would behoove players to have some familiarity with the goings-on of the in-game world at large, and to make note of the various big wigs that run the show.
ROLEPLAY
Characters and story are of the utmost importance to me. That is not to say that there won't be plenty of combat (I aim for at least one encounter every session, if the story allows for it), but if you are more interested in a kick-in-the-door, dungeon-crawl style of gameplay, my GMing style may not be right for you.
SELF DIRECTION
While I would describe my campaigns as On Rails games (as opposed to a Sandbox), I strive never to railroad you, and I strongly encourage self direction. I set the scene and provide all the pertinent information, and allow my players to decide what to do with that knowledge. You can and will choose your own path and set your own goals.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
As my mother always says, "This is a 'Paying Attention' kind of game."
