About me
Hi! My name is Urška, but you can also call me by my DM name: Valentina. I first discovered Dungeons & Dragons during the pandemic, when a friend introduced me to the game. What started as casual play quickly turned into a passion — especially for storytelling, worldbuilding, and creating engaging moments for others. Not long after, I started DMing and realized: I am bi- I MEAN, this is where the magic is. Since then, I’ve been mostly behind the screen as a Dungeon Master for about 4 years, and a player for about 2 years. Lately, I’ve been stepping back into the player role and rediscovering that side of the table, which has been both fun and a great learning experience. I found my community on Discord, where I’ve grown a lot as a DM — though I still consider myself a beginner at heart, always learning and improving. Beyond D&D, I love exploring other TTRPG systems and board games. There’s just something exciting about discovering new mechanics, worlds, and ways to play.
