About irene
Ready to blast off from the ordinary and plunge headfirst into sagas that will ignite your imagination? I'm Irene, your Game Master with more than 4 years of experience, absolutely chomping at the bit to guide you through worlds both familiar and breathtakingly new! My own adventure launched with a fateful roll of the dice in Dungeons & Dragons, sparking a passion that has fueled countless sessions over the past 8 years. From pulse-pounding one-shots that deliver a complete thrill, to epic, sprawling long-term campaigns where your legend truly takes shape, I meticulously craft every experience in both published realms and the unique homebrew universes I pour my heart into. My unwavering mission is to forge a truly welcoming, and safe gaming environment for every single hero at the table. Mutual respect isn't just fundamental here; it's the bedrock upon which incredible stories are built. Inclusivity is celebrated with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, ensuring every player feels seen, heard, and completely comfortable being their authentic self. I'm armed to the teeth with a vast arsenal of systems, ready to custom-craft the perfect adventure just for your group! My repertoire explodes with options: from the timeless magic of Dungeons & Dragons 5E to the cutting-edge narrative of Daggerheart and the chilling mysteries of Candela Obscura. Dive into the gritty, desperate struggle of the Mörkborg universe (including its high-seas terror PirateBorg and cybernetic nightmare CY-BORG), or explore the cosmic dread of Vast Grimm and the wildly imaginative indie gems like Skate Wizards. Fluent in both Italian and English, I'm absolutely thrilled to unleash my passion and creativity to deliver unforgettable, high-octane game sessions, no matter the language!

I became a GM because
because I needed to give voice to the magical worlds and fantastical creatures in my head
People are always surprised when I tell them
that I'm an archaeologist, and when I'm not busy playing games, I'm on excavation sites digging up riches.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I'm underwater scuba diving or playing Baldur's Gate
How irene runs games
When you join my table, you're stepping into a meticulously crafted narrative where every detail counts. My goal is to transport you fully into the world, painting complex scenes with vivid descriptions that engage all your senses, fostering a profound sense of immersion. From ancient ruins cut by the howling wind, to the smell of resin and moss in an old magical forest, I strive to make the environment a character in itself, enhancing your connection to the story. I believe the best stories are built on a foundation of inclusivity. At my table we celebrate diversity in all its forms, ensuring an environment free from discrimination, where your comfort and enjoyment are paramount. My games strike a balanced blend of meaningful roleplay and dynamic challenges. You'll find ample opportunities to delve deep into your character's motivations, interact with rich, reactive NPCs, and watch your choices ripple through the narrative. Simultaneously, prepare for complex and entertaining battles. These aren't just dice-rolling exercises; they're tactical encounters with high stakes, diverse enemies, and interactive environments that demand strategic thinking and teamwork. And yes, for those moments when the adventuring takes a brief pause, I absolutely love a good, chill shopping session!!

My favorite trope is...
The “Here Comes the Cavalry” twist: I absolutely love that thrilling moment when everything seems lost, and then, in the distance, we hear the horns of the approaching cavalry! The waves of pleasure that crash over us when the situation is resolved are simply too good!
Rules are...
Rules are a framework that helps me create engaging narratives and a safe environment. The queen of them all is the ‘Rule of Cool.’
When it comes to voices
I take a laid-back approach, I always try to slightly modify the tone and rhythm of my voice to give the impression of different characters, but I don't overdo it.
irene's ideal table
At my table, you're stepping into a deeply immersive, collaborative story. We aim for focused engagement, creating epic tales together, but always leave room for laughter and fun. It is a safe, respectful, and inclusive for everyone, where your comfort and enjoyment are paramount. Players who enjoy my style often align with the following traits, but please don't feel you need to possess all of them! An open mind and a desire to collaborate are what's most important: - Love Roleplay: You enjoy getting into character, speaking in-character, and engaging with NPCs. - Tactical Thinkers: You appreciate complex, entertaining battles that demand strategy and teamwork, not just dice rolls. - Collaborative Team Players: You enjoy working with the party, supporting teammates, and building a shared story. - Enjoy a Balanced Game: We'll have drama, combat, exploration, and yes, even "chill shopping sessions." If you like the full spectrum, you'll fit right in. Other Details to Consider I come prepared with detailed worlds but love to improvise with your ideas. I encourage open communication; your feedback helps tailor the game. All experience levels are welcome; I'm here to support your learning and growth.

I love it when a player
..sends me messages with crazy ideas for their character outside of session hours.
I think metagaming...
I think metagaming is fine in moderation. I appreciate it when the party takes a few moments to discuss complex tactics, but if it takes too long, be aware that the Goblin King may leave his throne room with his soldiers to have a chat with you.
My table is not the place for...
My table is not a place for racists, transphobes, misogynists, or prima donnas, whether open or subtle. Here, we value the sacred identity of the individual and respect for others above all.
