Not sure if Dungeons & Dragons is right for you? I run games for ages 8 to 80. It can be as scary or as silly as you'd like. You can commit for as little as 3 hours or as much as 30 years. I can facilitate birthday parties, weekly game sessions, learn-to-play games, character creation workshops, corporate team building adventures, and more!
Tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons are, first and foremost, collaborative storytelling games. All you need to play is an imagination and a willingness to Yes& your friends' improv ideas. Everything else, from elaborate maps and set pieces to fancy gemstone dice, is optional. But, these extras can make game day great. And a great game starts with a great Game Master.
Game Mastering
The GM plays the role of project manager, rules adjudicator, and master storyteller.
Character Creation
Every story needs a hero, and every hero will have strengths and weaknesses.
Miniature Painting
Level up your game table with custom-painted terrain, heroes, villains, and more.
3D Printing
Dice towers, fidget toys, art props, dice containers, and more.
Onna's game-running focuses on getting to know her players and finding ways to validate them and their interests, and find unique ways to challenge and engage with them. The depth and balance of her ability to make TTRPGs feel rich and round is fantastic! She leverages her background in linguistics to paint vivid verbal images of settings, characters, and events with ease! Onna makes gaming feel thoroughly like a trip to a beautiful place of adventure, like reading a beloved fantasy novel for the very first time.

"The opposite of play isn't work. It's depression.... Games make us happy because they are hard work that we choose for ourselves, and it turns out that almost nothing makes us happier than good, hard work."
-Jane McGonigal, Reality Is Broken (2010)
