Jess
TTRPG player based in Melbourne (AEST), looking for a consistent group that values thoughtful storytelling, strong table dynamics, collaborative play and finishing campaigns.
My playstyle sits between narrative and systems. I care about character arcs, party cohesion, and thematic depth, but I also engage properly with mechanics—decisions should matter, and the system should have weight. I’m particularly drawn to settings with strong worldbuilding, moral tension, or mythic/spiritual undertones rather than pure power fantasy.
Experience-wise, I’ve played D&D and adjacent systems, and although i am a newbie at TTRPGs, I am a skilled board game player and used to run board game groups so I’m comfortable picking up new rules quickly. I also design board games on the side, so I tend to engage with systems analytically without disrupting flow.
At the table, I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of pacing and spotlight balance. I prefer collaborative groups over chaotic or meme-heavy play. Not interested in flakey scheduling or competitive groups with alpha players.
For games, I am more drawn to immersive worlds with meaningful decisions than combat heavy game systems. Games like Dune, Daggerheart, Numenera, Candela Oscura, Call of Cthulhu etc interest me the most.
Logistics: Evenings AEST work best. Mainly open to online using VTTs like Alchemy (preferred) or Roll20 and Foundy.
Happy to align on tone, boundaries, and expectations upfront
