Charli Kipreos-Clarke

Charli (better known as @dndcharli) is a scientist turned TTRPG content creator who spends an unreasonable amount of her free time studying psychology and figuring out how it applies to D&D. She runs the series "Your Brain on D&D," which is essentially what happens when you let a neurodivergent ex-theatre-kid with a decade of D&D experience (both playing and GMing) loose on academic journals.

Her DMing style favours character-driven storytelling in a way that puts the players in control and creates emotionally devastating moments interspersed with pure chaos (there are no “wrong choices” - only ones that shape your story). She builds worlds designed to make you care about the NPCs, weaves player backstories into the narrative, and has a particular love of morally complicated villains you can't help but sympathise with. She’s also been known to cry at almost every table, which she maintains is a sign of quality DMing.

Whether you're a veteran player or have never rolled a d20 in your life, expect rich storytelling, chaotic laughter, and at least one moment where the whole table goes very, very quiet.
