About the GM
A storyteller at heart, a lifelong lover of fantasy, and the creative mind behind Ravaged Dragon, LLC.
Meet Cynthia
Ravaged Dragon was founded on a simple belief: meaningful stories are crafted with intention. Based in Maryland and running primarily online, Cynthia creates character-driven campaigns that balance structure, atmosphere, and player agency.
“As a Game Master, I love bringing worlds to life through immersive storytelling, memorable characters, exploration, and player-driven adventures. Whether we're exploring a published D&D setting or stepping into one of my original worlds, I want players to feel that their choices matter and their characters are part of something bigger.”
Her original campaigns include Roads of Atherra, where nature and magic are struggling against one another, and Mysts Beyond Barovia, where folklore, mystery, and dark fantasy intertwine.
Relaxed, welcoming, collaborative
Her GM style blends immersive roleplay, exploration, mysteries, puzzles and challenging combat into stories where player choices genuinely matter, and encourages creativity, character development and thinking outside the box.
She prepares thoroughly while staying flexible, uses the Rule of Cool when it enhances the experience while keeping the rules consistent and fair, and builds an environment where both new and experienced players feel comfortable taking part.
Expect memorable NPCs, intriguing mysteries, unexpected twists, dramatic encounters, laughter, and perhaps a little delightful chaos.
Frequently asked
Are absolute beginners welcome at the table?
Always. Whether you've never rolled a d20 or have only watched others play, sessions include patient guidance on mechanics and narrative immersion. Character creation can happen at Session 0, and newer players get “cheat sheets” for reference.
How do online games work?
Games run online with Discord for voice and video, alongside a virtual tabletop and D&D Beyond. You will need an internet connection, a computer and a microphone; details and links are shared before Session 0.
What safety tools do you use?
Safety is paramount for a truly immersive experience. Tables use Lines and Veils alongside the X-Card, and a safety and consent form is discussed at Session 0.
How does scheduling work?
Campaigns run on a reliable bi-weekly cadence, with booking, reminders and payment handled securely through StartPlaying.
Can I book a custom adventure for my private group?
Absolutely. Tailored one shots and campaigns can be designed around your group's specific interests, from political intrigue to high-stakes dungeon crawls. Get in touch for availability.
