The table is set, Vanessa has the source books next to her and ready to go, and she's doing her best to put herself into the right mind-set for this. It was kind of like she was the computer that her two roommates would be playing on, but at the same time it was also kind of like she was putting on her dominatrix hat; in both cases she was constructing and maintaining the "scene" for her partners to enjoy. She was honestly looking forward to the challenge.
Table-Top RPGs weren't usually Vanessa's thing, but when Eelesia had come to her, gushing about a game where players role-played kinky supernatural sex in a fantasy world instead of slaying dragons and collecting loot, Vanessa had been intrigued. And the more she read through the rulebook, the more the jumble of rules and math seemed to come alive in her mind, inspiring her imagination in pornographic directions. Which, she supposed, was entire the point. Apparently, spending enough time around Eelesia had given Vanessa a taste for crunch. (As in "crunching numbers". Vanessa thought that bit of slang was adorable.)
If this went well, she'd have to tell her onlyfans subscribers about this game, if only to explain the lingo she was probably not going to be able to stop herself from using outside of the game in the future.
Yeah, Vanessa was totally on top of this "dungeon master" thing. It was exciting. Now all she needed was her players...
