About Me

(she/they) I'm a long time gamer and creative wizard who sews and writes. I've been on a few shows, done some writing for TTRPGs, and made a lot of stuff. I live with ADHD and Functional Neurological Disorder. I sew on my grandmother's 1911 treadle sewing machine, and make items out of vintage and recycled items and I can occasionally be found at Winnipeg craft sales. I live with my partner and two cats.

Gaming Appearances

Player, CAPERS: The Chicago Way (CAPERS) – I play Setroka Panatela, a cunning thief with the power to turn into a puddle of liquid (vodka) or a cloud of smoke (cigar). She also possesses a supernatural pocket to hide her ill-gotten goods. Follow the Neighbourhood Association as they try their hand at becoming big-time gangsters.
Player, The Brave and the Kobolds (D&D 5e) – A semi-animated all-ages delight of a game about a group of kobolds leaving their burrow for the first time and discovering the outside world. The incredible artwork is by Penflower Ink.
Player, Curse of Strahd on UnmadeGaming (D&D 5e)– Thorne Blakktalyn is most metal barbarian there is, just saying her name should invoke a heavy guitar riff. She joins a strange crew to travel to Barovia and defeat Strahd – ending on one of the single most intense final games I have ever played.
Player, Lost Mines of Phandelver on Unmade Gaming (D&D 5e) A group of strange and perhaps lovable adventurers head out to complete basic tasks and barely manage to do that. This should give you a good laugh. And panthers go “hey.”
Player, Charity One-Shot, Petey’s Pork Pie Emporium (D&D 5e) One of my favourite characters, Qala the Kenku, joins in this weird and wacky one shot where we uncover the dark secret of the latest fad restaurant.
Player, The Long Fall: Chronicles of Cas’Guardas (D&D 5e)
Player, Strands of the Sun (D&D 5e) A fun and exciting adventure where I play Sera the big green loveable hulk.
Player, Dice Devils: A Discworld Adventure A fantastically fun game where dreams become reality(GURPS)
Storyteller, Changeling: The Dreaming In which I GM a modified Changeling the Dreaming game.
