About me

I've been a TTRPG player for about 14 years, and a DM for about 5-6. I am currently recording some of my campaigns which will be published on my YouTube channel LadyBug's Tavern! I am all for rule of cool (except when it really doesn't make any sense). I DM Dungeons and Dragons 5e, The One Ring 1e (have to finally sit down to get to know 2e) and various things (mostly murder mystery with or without magic and supernatural stuff in the world) on modfied Fate mechanic. What I love about playing ttrpgs is telling stories with other people, that are always an absolute blast, and let people express themselves in most amazing ways. If I was to say what makes me special as a GM... that would be maybe the fact, that I'm a weird hybrid of someone who first learned ttrpgs from old school gamers, then fell into a well of newer players and now mixes both those things XD I definitely bring to the table an abundant amount of visuals - I am aphantasiac, which means my imagination doesn't do images. That means I have to have visuals to know what something looks like. And if I can't find proper visuals I will make them myself (I draw and make maps) I'm trying to keep a balance between RP, combat and puzzles - depending on the game of course. My Fate based murder mysteries have almost zero combat, One Ring has that balance kinda built in, and then I balance in DnD. I am definitely more Rule of Cool then RAW kind of DM, however within reason. A natural 20 does not kill an ancient dragon at full health no matter what crazy thing you decided to do to get there XD For One Ring I usually go with modules, cause the published ones are actually great. For DnD I enjoy a bit of worldbuilding - which is part of why my main setting for it is Domains of Dread, For my Fate based Murder Mystery I go with worldbuilding-ish approach - it is usually set in a parallel world version of 1920s England :D

Olga is one of the sweetest and warmest GMs you can possibly find. Very responsive and welcoming to Player initiatives and ideas. Putting heart, soul and artistic talents into her games. Best for chill and laid back session.

Can you say good chemistry, fun RP, TWISTS, & so much entertainment I was okay with dying??? Ladybug is not only a sweet & kind person who is helpful in making things work (walked me through relearning FATE!) But also has cool maps and DM costumes for games. Literally. A. Miraculous. Ladybug.

ladybug is an amazing Dm. it's not every day you see a dm trying some new ideas and not only that letting players make some wild ideas. ladybug lets the rule of cool be the base of gameplay. of course, within reason and logic for the setting. within the game, ladybug seems just as invested as the players. if you have any questions or concerns she puts in the effort to give the space for open communication. i would highly recomend

Character creation
Creating your character

Characters will start at level 3. We will go over character creation on session 0. All officially published 5e 2014 books are fair game for this. Only restrictions: Luck feat is not to be used (each character is getting one luck point per long rest to use in game) and Silvery Barbs is a spell existing solely in Strixhaven and not working anywhere outside of Strixhaven.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

You will need a computer, a Discord and Roll20 accounts, and a working microphone. All character creation should be finalized before session 1 begins (we will do it at session 0).

What Loremistress LadyBug brings to the table

Extensive knowledge of the rules (with special mention to the Rule of Cool), music, story arcs for every character, character art made by me for each player.

Homebrew rules

- One luck point per character per long rest - No Lucky feat - No Silvery Barbs spell - +5HP and one feat of your choice at the start
