About Boarstream
Hello fellow adventurers! I’m a veteran DM and roleplayer from Scandinavia with over 30 years of experience at the table. I’ve been Game Mastering various systems since the 90s and have been running D&D 5e consistently since 2018. For the past 10 years, I’ve called Longyearbyen, Svalbard, my home, where I work in hospitality. My background in service helps me ensure my players always have a high-quality, welcoming experience. When I’m not behind the DM screen, I’m usually outdoors enjoying the Arktic nature with my dogs or relaxing at home with a good video game. My games take place in the Forgotten Realms; I love using the deep lore of Faerûn to build consistent, engaging worlds for my players to explore. Looking forward to seeing you at the table!

How Boarstream runs games
In my sessions, I prioritize storytelling and character development above all else. I believe the best adventures are the ones we build together, so I stay highly attentive to my players' wishes and keep an open mind toward your creative ideas. I love crafting personalized character arcs and narrative hooks, ensuring that your character's background feels deeply woven into the fabric of the campaign. When it comes to the mechanics, I view the rules and systems as guidelines rather than rigid laws. My goal is to keep the game flowing and the narrative engaging; if a creative idea enhances the story but bends the rules, I usually favor the "Rule of Cool." I am here to facilitate your journey and make sure every player has their moment to shine.
