Heavy on roleplaying and building characters and worlds!
What makes you unique as a GM?
I was a player for nearly 20 years before I began to GM. This gave me lots of insights into the players mindset so I know very well how to make the adventure interesting and FUN for players! Also, with a degree in theatre and a career spent building immersive worlds, I’m prepared (eager, in fact) for anything my players come up with, and will weave it into the quest we’re on together! The rules are a guideline and a foundation, but it’s what the players create that makes an adventure epic and a total blast. I don’t care if folks know the rules like the back of their hand or are overwhelmed by the mere thought of learning the system. It will be new to all of us because no one has ever had exactly THIS experience before. They can’t have. Because we’re about to make it up!
What else should people know about you?
I’m a native NYer who has spent her career in immersive theatre. I studied at NYU Tisch and the Royal Academy of Dramatic art in London where I discovered british company, Punchdrunk, and helped bring their hit show “Sleep No More” to NYC. I’ve run my own immersive theatre company since 2012 and lately we have expanded into a bit of adventure television! We have a streamed series called SpaGoblin where we visit Spas, check out the local culture, and bring the adventure to you!
We're looking to build a group with this and play can go on for more than 4 weeks
You and your fellow adventurers find yourselves on a ship on the Sea of Kings traveling from a northern port of Hollow Crown bound for Roseland. A red sky morning, an overheard betrayal, and the lingering possibility of war sit like ice in the air.
This campaign can work for fellow Shakespeare nerds like myself, or for folks who haven't picked it up since forced to in high school. I guarantee these characters will come to life in ways that make them super fun and engaging for everyone.
I have been a GM for 5 years, I GM at my local tabletop conventions, game stores, and friend groups.
How would you describe your GM style?
I am a very beginner friendly GM, I like to guide people through understanding their character and building their confidence in role playing games. I focus on light, comedic games with tons of side adventures and areas to explore. My goal is for everyone to feel comfortable and have a good time no matter their level.
What makes you unique as a GM?
I enjoying figuring things out with my players. If I don’t know something or something is outside the bounds of the system my job as a GM is to roll with it and make a fun story, so improvisation and collaboration is important.
What else should people know about you?
I am board game designer and artist,, who loves storytelling. I love Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Marvel, Discworld, and Disney movies.
What tabletop game systems can you run?
I mainly run Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I have been looking into other systems like Kids on Bikes and Kids on Brooms and would love to run a campaign or one shot for that system.
What apps or software do you use to run your games?

Sinister Happenings at the Dozy Lamb - $19/player - 2 hour one shot with Mahria Register here http://bit.ly/dozylamb20
Wardburrow isn’t a bustling city by any means, but it couldn’t be considered a sleepy farming village either. The locals are a mix of all races, and all seem to be welcome within its walls. It has a reputation of being a safe place to live as well...that is until the last three weeks. A series of violent attacks have occurred, from seemingly normal citizens. After each attack, the victims have been brutalized, and the attackers seemed exhausted and confused, with little memory of what happened....

Sinister Happenings at the Dozy Lamb
Sinister Happenings at the Dozy Lamb - $19/player - 2 hour one shot with Mahria Register here http://bit.ly/dozylamb20
Wardburrow isn’t a bustling city by any means, but it couldn’t be considered a sleepy farming village either. The locals are a mix of all races, and all seem to be welcome within its walls. It has a reputation of being a safe place to live as well...that is until the last three weeks. A series of violent attacks have occurred, from seemingly normal citizens. After each attack, the victims have been brutalized, and the attackers seemed exhausted and confused, with little memory of what happened....
