About Callesa
Hello awesome peeps, Name is Callesa and I fell in love with TTRPG since 2014. I'm by default a gamer, board game enthusiast, miniature painter, and shiny math rock collectors. Just like the majority of you, D&D was my first system but I'm also passionate with some other cool system such as Starfinder, City of Mist, Ryuutama, and Marvel Multiverse. In my table, I'm flexible enough to balance between RAW (rule as written) and rule of cool. I encourage player doing cool stuff but I also like to keep the table without too much of a chaos. Currently I'm residing in Jakarta, Indonesia but it didn't stop me to play with some of the people around the globe. By playing TTRPG I forged a long-lasting friendship with fellow players and DMs here, and I would love to share the magic. To introduce the joy of playing TTRPG and making friends along the way. I hope I can sit in the table with you soon. Cheers

I got started GMing...
I started GMing because I love the game, and soon discovered that I also love introducing new people to it and watching them fall in love with the hobby.
My favorite books are
The Mistborn series is a favorite of mine, and I’ll happily read almost anything sci-fi. I love stories that explore strange worlds, strange futures, and the people trying to survive in them.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I spend my time as a portrait photographer learning how to capture people, their expressions, and the small human moments that tell a story.
How Callesa runs games
I can't live without music and I usually incorporate music into the session. I often lean to storytelling and do my best to immerse the players into the story but at the same time I'll give the players ability to leave a foot print to the world and unfold their stories to the table. For combat, I create a challenging encounter that might test the player on their prowess or their morale compass.

My games focus on...
Character interaction and meaningful engagement with the world. Combat happens when the stakes are high, but the heart of my table is roleplaying and collaborative storytelling.
Rules are...
I treat the rules as guidance. Most of the time I follow them, but occasionally I bend them to reward great player ideas or dramatic moments.
Callesa's ideal table
My ideal table is one where everyone is curious, engaged, and excited to explore the story together. When players bring that kind of energy, it’s contagious and it pushes me to give my all as a GM.
Featured Prompts
I think it's a red flag when players...
A red flag for me is when a player tries to control another player’s character or decisions everyone should have agency over their own character. I’m also cautious of players who dominate the spotlight, refuse the consequences of their actions, or treat the game like a solo experience.
I think metagaming...
I’m fine with a bit of metagaming, especially when players are excited to try out character builds. As long as the character stays involved in the story and roleplaying moments, we’re good.
