You’ve conjured something twisted, terrifying, and ready to be unleashed.
Let’s make sure GMs don’t get lost in the madness.
Creating a horror roleplaying game scenario that actually works at the table takes more than a creepy vibe. Writing scenarios is technical, tricky, and weirdly delightful.
If your clues are confusing, your pacing’s off, or your Keeper’s flipping pages mid-session… that’s a fun-killer.
With expert scenario editing and development support, I’ll help you craft something terrifying, clear, and totally playable so you can publish with confidence and give players a night they won’t forget. (Tentacles not included.)
You’re hunched over your notes like a mad archivist, piecing together the fragments of something dark, dangerous, and almost playable.
A cursed relic. A fog-drenched village. A twist you’re pretty sure will make players gasp.
But then you look at the idea or draft…
And the explanations for the GM feel muddy.
The pacing’s weird. And is this game even fun?
You know this idea has potential—but getting it from “cool concept” to “fully published scenario” is a whole other game.
That’s where I come in.
Whether you need big-picture feedback on your idea or full developmental editing on your draft, I’ll help you build a terrifyingly playable, GM-friendly scenario you can actually publish on DriveThruRPG.
If you want someone who knows horror rpgs inside and out to help you level up your scenario...
I’ve got you.

"Leslie brings her skills and passion to her work, and it shows. Under her insight and guidance in developmental editing, she helped me shape and polish my scenarios to a much higher quality than I could have achieved alone. Beyond helping refine the story, she reviewed the game mechanics and balance, and helped me streamline the flow and identify the fun. So far, Leslie has worked on three of my projects, all of which have achieved best-seller status and Print on Demand on the Miskatonic Repository Community Creator program on DrivethruRPG.
This is in no small thanks to her work. I look forward to my next opportunity to work with Leslie!”
-John C. (Call of Cthulhu RPG)
“I had another playtest session for my scenario, which included changes based on Leslie’s suggestions and feedback. I'm happy to report that my players liked the changes, which led to some very cool and thematic moments. With Leslie’s help and experience, I was able to really hit the themes I was going for and highlight and improve some of the unique aspects of the scenario. I'm really happy with how it turned out.”
- Linus W. (Eldritch Instinct RPG)
“How do I begin to tell the story of what Leslie did for my RPG? The simple truth goes much deeper than words on a page, into how she sees a project from every angle. One of the best things about working with her was how easy it was to incorporate her edits and suggestions. More than that, she cares about my success.
I recommend her to everyone except my competitors. :)”
-Brian C. (Mythmaker RPG)
Want a Taste of My Horror Editing Brain?
Check out my XPLovecat YouTube channel, where I nerd out over horror modules and talk through what’s brilliant, what’s broken, and how to fix it.
You’ll get a front-row seat to how I think about structure, pacing, playability, and what makes a session actually fun for GMs and players alike.
If you want an editor who understands both narrative beats and mechanical clarity, this is where you’ll see that in action.
