I have been playing and DMing since 2nd edition, and most of my best friendships have been made around this game. I love that the game is in a renaissance now, and that it has become popular with queer folk like myself. I don't think that I would be living as my authentic self if not for a lifetime of exploring identity in a safe space of TTRPGs. I like to play flawed characters, and I have a history of them being a little bit goofy (I want to make everyone at the table laugh!), but I don't play meme characters. Leaving parts of my character blank to evolve throughout the story and having them grow in relation to the other characters is my aim. I love to play out vulnerable, emotional scenes, and play off dramatic irony.  I'm in Australia but I can make American evenings work most days (except Saturday). I am a fulltime writing student studying online, so I have flexibility.
