Hey there!👋
I'm Thea (she/her), 37, UK-based, and I've been playing TTRPGs for 10+ years across a variety of systems.
I'm primarily looking for a long-term, roleplay-focused campaign, ideally in D&D 5.5e, although I'm always happy to try something new if the game and group are a good fit.
I've recently finished a three-year Fantasy Flight Star Wars campaign with an absolutely wonderful group of people, and I'm very much looking for the next table to get emotionally attached to. 🥲
How I Like to Play
I'm very much a roleplay-first player.
I love character-driven games where relationships actually matter and characters have the opportunity to grow, change, make mistakes and occasionally make spectacularly questionable decisions.
My ideal game has a healthy mix of:
🎭 Heavy roleplay
❤️ Character development & relationships
📖 Collaborative storytelling
⚔️ Cinematic combat
🗺️ Exploring the world and its lore
🏰 Political & social intrigue
😂 Silly moments alongside serious ones
✨ Player choices that genuinely affect the story
I particularly enjoy cinematic combat. I don't need every encounter to be mechanically complex, but I love those moments where everyone at the table can picture exactly what just happened.
I'm less interested in crunch-heavy dungeon crawls where optimisation is the main focus. I don't mind some railroading when it serves the story, but I do want meaningful autonomy over my character and their decisions.
🧙 Character Concepts
My favourite characters tend to be Warlocks, Half-Casters and Rogues, particularly because I enjoy having versatility and different ways to approach problems.
I also really enjoy taking familiar fantasy tropes and twisting them sideways.
I like characters with strong motivations, flaws, contradictions and relationships that can develop naturally throughout a campaign.
That said, I'm very happy to create something specifically for the setting and party. I'm not precious about playing a particular class if there's something else that would make the group more interesting.
High fantasy is probably my favourite setting, although I'm also very fond of traditional fantasy, steampunk and fantasy-adjacent settings.
🤝 What I Bring to a Table
I'm an experienced player and have good table etiquette. More importantly, I'm a very engaged player.
If you put plot in front of me, you gosh-damn know I'm going to bite that hook.
I love getting invested in the world, the NPCs and — most importantly — the other player characters.
One of my favourite things at a table is spotlighting other players. If I see an opportunity for another character to have their moment, I'll usually try to create space for it.
I love watching people become comfortable enough to explore aspects of roleplay that they might not normally engage with.
I'm also the sort of player who tends to build genuine friendships around a table. I'm invested in the people I'm playing with, not just the characters we're controlling.
Basically, if we're playing together for long enough, there's a reasonably high chance I'll eventually ask whether you've eaten anything today and tell you to drink some water. 😂
🌈 The Table I'm Looking For
I'm looking for an adult, friendly and inclusive table where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves.
I'm particularly interested in LGBTQIA+ inclusive or LGBTQIA+-centred groups.
I'm 37. I'm far too old and tired for table drama.
That's not part of the campaign setting.
I'm here to tell stories, make friends, laugh at terrible dice rolls and get emotionally destroyed by fictional characters.
🖤 Themes I'm Happy Exploring
I'm comfortable with:
Mature themes
Romance
Character death
Darker settings and storylines
Morally complicated characters
Political/social intrigue
Emotional character arcs
🚫 Things I'd Prefer to Avoid
Adversarial PvP
Loss of player autonomy
Extremely over-the-top horror
Anything excessively explicit/spicy
I'm absolutely fine with mature themes and romance, but fade-to-black is my preferred approach for anything particularly spicy.
🎲 What I'm Looking For
System: D&D 5.5e preferred, open to other systems
Format: Online
Campaign: Long-term preferred
Frequency: Weekly preferred
Session Length: 3–4 hours
Group Size: 4–6 players preferred
Timezone: UK / GMT / BST
Availability
Monday–Friday: 6pm–10pm UK time
Saturday–Sunday: 9am–10pm UK time
I'm fairly flexible within those windows and can potentially accommodate different schedules depending on the group.
Ultimately, I'm looking for a group of people who want to tell a really good story together.
I don't need every session to be epic. Sometimes I want to save the kingdom; sometimes I want to spend an hour in a tavern discovering that the party's Rogue has somehow acquired a chicken.
If the characters have room to breathe, the players care about each other, the GM enjoys saying "Oh... that's interesting" when we make a terrible decision, and everyone is there to have a genuinely good time, I'm probably going to have a wonderful time too. ❤️
