About Vijay

Hi, Im Vijay, I have been running online games since 2020, and in person since 1995. I prefer to run cooperative adventure, exploration and problem solving games. I enjoy theatre of the mind, and I can offer vtt maps for some games and online visuals. I have run games at expos and events as well as online games for large companies as team building exercises. My favourite games are smaller groups of 3-6 players. I use a loose 5e system, with room for heroic acts and storytelling if you can convince me and the dice back you up then almost anything is possible. I ask all participants treat each other and myself with kindness, and respect each others off limit topics. Im heavily influenced by The Mabinogi, Atlantian and Arthurian legends, Homer and Virgil in my homebrew games. Off limit list for all games: All romance scenes above pg will fade to black. Animal cruelty/abuse Sex/sexual assault scenes Please message me with off limit lists if you join my game so I can prepare appropriately. Confirmed for Canterbury GameCon Medicine and a Message, from The Ichber Adventures. Confirmed for Dragonmeet 2025 Afternoon slot running Silkenstorm - the mystery of the missing stallion, based in the forgotten realms, between Waterdeep and Longsaddle. Outside of gaming I enjoy cosplay, larp, theatre and making sure Barchimedes of Iloveus my spaniel gets to live his best life
