Samantha Fortune
I’ve been running Dungeons & Dragons for over 5 years, and for the past year I’ve been doing it professionally as my full-time work. I am a storyteller, worldbuilder, and full-time Dungeon Mistress. I co-DM games with my partner, Douglas Fortune.
I live in northeastern Washington State, where the pine forests, snowy winters, and fiery summers give me plenty of inspiration for the worlds I build. It’s a lovely reason to stay inside, roll dice, and dream up new adventures.
My DMing style blends the rules-as-written with light homebrew modifications to keep things fresh and flexible. My tables are safe, creative spaces where players can immerse themselves fully in their characters and live out their stories. Inclusivity is a cornerstone of my games — everyone has a voice at the table, and I use safety tools to make sure each player feels welcome, respected, and part of the adventure.
When you sit at my table, you can expect a fully immersive experience. I bring detailed session prep, create custom handouts (where it fits the story) and maps, and breathe life into the world through NPC character voices and carefully chosen soundscapes. After each session, I also provide session notes, helping everyone stay connected to the larger story.
I run an interconnected world set between 1490–1492 DR in the Forgotten Realms. The choices of every player and party ripple outward, influencing the world in ways both big and small — shaping history, politics, and the paths that others will walk.
Here at DMC, you’re not just rolling dice — you’re leaving your mark on a living, breathing world.

From pixelated adventures to tabletop epics, my love for role-playing games has been a lifelong affair. What began as a fascination with King's Quest and Diablo 1 evolved into a passion for many of the Blizzard products and a slew of tabletop games where imagination was the vital part. Whether it’s navigating treacherous dungeons or shaping the destiny of heroes, I bring decades of RPG experience to the table — both digital and pen-and-paper — always looking for ways to tell stories that challenge, surprise, and connect.
​
Within Dungeon Mistress Chronicles, I am the quiet architect behind the curtain — a meticulous designer, rules consultant, and creative collaborator. I make sure that every character sheet is leveled with care, every mechanic runs smoothly, and every system feels both fair and fun. My expertise extends beyond the table, too — editing our audio productions, refining our sessions, and sometimes playing a character in the campaigns we have, leading by example to show our table expectations in real time and often learning from the other talented people that have found us.
​
Together with Sam — the Mistress herself — I have helped foster a community that feels more like a family than a roster of players. Our Discord is a home for storytellers, adventurers, and dreamers from around the world, where collaboration thrives and every new player finds a welcome seat at the table. It’s a place of laughter, shared creativity, and genuine camaraderie — the kind of magic only the best adventuring parties ever find.
​
Above all, I believe I have an insight in what makes role-playing games extraordinary: great tables are not made by accident and so much goes into a space that is creative, welcoming, and impactful. Through Dungeon Mistress Chronicles, I am thrilled to help shape these stories— proving that with imagination, courage, and a handful of dice, anyone can be a hero.
