Goated with the sauce

Brooke always puts SO MUCH time and planning into her campaigns. I've done two campaigns with Brooke and both were set in totally different worlds with a complete backstory of lore and history and NPCs and maps and even music. Brooke goes the extra 500 miles--from teaching herself how to better utilize different technologies, like discord, roll20, and DNDbeyond, to ensuring that her campaigns are sensitive to individual player's needs, playing styles, and wishes for a campaign. She's the first DM I've had that asked about any content warnings/content to be avoided for individual players, making the playing space safe and enjoyable for everyone. There is a great balance of humor/silliness and heart-wrenching, hair-raising action. Plus, she's great at designing puzzles that give less combat-based players a roll in the story. Overall, I would 500% recommend Brooke as a DM for any of your campaigns, but just be warned--no other DM experience will be as great again!

Simply the best

I’ve played a few campaigns with Brooke, some months long and some one-shots, and she’s fantastic at both. I never feel lost with her as DM. She has a creative writing background, and it shows so much with her world-building, detailed descriptions of characters, surroundings, and situations. Not to mention her improv skills for unexpected twists and turns. I came into my first campaign with her as a n00b and not only has she been extremely patient and informative, I feel like she’s certainly helped me grow as a player. I couldn’t ask for a better d&d guide

Incredible Storyteller!

Brooke puts an amazing amount of thought into her campaigns - each character's backstory and arc is considered, and the twists and turns are always a delight!



Brooke makes sure to help you find a story-direction for your character, which makes her campaign the most immersive one I've ever played in (the excellent NPC voices area big help here, too).



I highly recommend playing with Brooke - the attention to detail, great storytelling, fun NPCs - plus combat is always fast-paced and fun- make her my favorite DM!

My Favorite DM!!!

I’ve played 2 different major campaigns now with Brooke as my DM and will soon be embarking on another! Her DMing style is great and she is my favorite DM I’ve played with.

A couple things that make her stand out for me is that she takes time to address players who don’t speak up as often to give everyone opportunities to take actions in different exploration and downtime encounters. She is always open to discussing character concepts and homebrew mechanics to make characters more developed and balances any homebrew very well, it never feels overpowered or underwhelming. Brooke also creates extremely detailed settings and NPCs to interact with that truly immerses the players into the game.

My favorite part of Brooke’s DMing is that she works with players and their characters a lot to give them good backstory and ways to develop. My characters always feel more realistic when I’m prompted to consider my character’s past and relations to the setting and this connects players to the world a lot better and gives us personal story arcs that are really engaging and entertaining. If you want a DM that will help you create fun characters and dynamic story arcs centered around you, look no further!
