About irene

Ready to uncover ancient secrets? I'm Irene, a professional Archaeologist and Game Master with 8+ years of experience. When I'm not on excavation sites digging up riches, I'm building immersive worlds where your choices ripple through time. Whether you are looking for high-octane Live sessions or the steady pace of Asynchronous Play-by-Post, I meticulously craft every experience. My background in archaeology brings a unique depth to world-building: expect ancient ruins that feel lived-in and mysteries that demand real investigation. Pronti a scoprire antichi segreti? Sono Irene, archeologa e Game Master. Quando non sono sugli scavi a riportare alla luce richezze, costruisco mondi immersivi dove le vostre scelte lasciano il segno. Che cerchiate l'adrenalina di una sessione Live o il ritmo costante del Play-by-Post asincrono, ogni mia esperienza è curata nei minimi dettagli. Il mio background in archeologia mi permette di dare una profondità unica al world-building: aspettatevi rovine che sembrano "vive" e misteri che richiedono vera indagine.

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

Every detail counts. My goal is to transport you fully into the world through vivid sensory descriptions. In my games, the environment is a character itself—from the howling wind of a ruin to the scent of resin in a magical forest. My Approach: - Immersive Narrative: Deep roleplay with reactive NPCs and a focus on character motivations. - Tactical Combat: High-stakes encounters where strategy and teamwork matter more than just the dice. - Format Flexibility: I offer high-energy Live sessions via VTT/Discord and Play-by-Post options for those who want to keep the story moving daily through writing. - Inclusive & Safe: A welcoming space where diversity is celebrated and your comfort is paramount. Ogni dettaglio conta. Il mio obiettivo è trasportarvi nel mondo di gioco attraverso descrizioni sensoriali vivide. Nelle mie partite, l'ambiente è un personaggio a sé stante. Il mio Approccio: - Narrativa Immersiva: Roleplay profondo con PNG reattivi e focus sulle motivazioni dei personaggi. -Combattimento Tattico: Scontri ad alto rischio dove strategia e gioco di squadra contano più del dado. - Flessibilità di Formato: Offro sessioni Live dinamiche su VTT/Discord e opzioni Play-by-Post per chi vuole far progredire la storia quotidianamente tramite la scrittura. - Inclusivo e Sicuro: Uno spazio accogliente dove la diversità è un valore e il vostro comfort è la priorità.

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.

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.
