Hi! I'm Sarah, and I've come here because I need a way to vent about my dungeon master feelings without it being directed at my players. I googled a few podcasts about the topic, but the best place I've found was DMB. All the topics were exactly what I wanted to hear, from big picture elements to help construct entire worlds, to smaller ideas that could be slipped into any narrative. It's been a few days of avidly consuming as many as I can.
I adore art and narrative, and have designed a few digital games here and there. I like to work on games and game mechanics as a hobby, but my biggest passion is storytelling (through art and writing). I also love to do goofy voices, and make my players cry when possible.
In regards to tabletop roleplay games, I begun when I was about twenty. when a friend of mine insisted that I try out Pathfinder. I played a few weeks of it, but broke my hand so I couldn't really do much of anything -- I've had a few run-ins with D&D and Pathfinder since, almost exclusively with homebrewed elements because all my friends were as interested in game development and mechanics as I was.
My very first DM experience was through my university course, where I had to design and run my own campaign, and it was abysmal. As such, I have wiped the majority of that from my memory. My first experience time as a DM (that didn't totally suck) was about a month and a half ago after two of my friends became addicted to Critical Role. I got asked to be their DM, and have been doing a weekly session for them ever since. I'm excited to branch out and learn more, but that's my little origin story.
