Game Style

Amanda’s games are nothing if not intense. Sometimes, they’re intensely zany; after all, she is known for her distinctive goblin voice, which often echoes throughout convention halls. Other times, her games are intensely grim, and Amanda is also known as a horror writer and a viscerally descriptive Dungeon Master. No matter the game’s tone, Amanda prioritizes deep and nuanced roleplaying, and she loves nothing more than when players’ creative approaches unexpectedly change the story’s direction. Amanda strives to immerse players in her game’s stories and promote meaningful character interactions. She believes that both can lead to satisfying, long-lasting, and sometimes life-changing experiences at the table.
