About Kat The Dungeon Mom

Kat brings years of GMing experience and a talent for creating inclusive, welcoming tables. Her approach to the Cypher System emphasizes collaborative storytelling and player agency.

Why Cypher System?

The Cypher System’s narrative-first mechanics make it ideal for actual play:

  • GM intrusions - Built-in drama and complications
  • Simple mechanics - Less rules focus, more storytelling
  • Player empowerment - Tools for shaping narrative outcomes
  • Genre flexibility - Works for any setting or tone

TENDERHOLLOW demonstrates these strengths through engaging, character-focused gameplay.
