About Iro ( Zhivko )

Hello ! My name is Zhivko but you can call me Iro , I've been DMing for 7 years and have played DnD and Pathfinder for years beforehand. I'd like to think of myself as a perfectionist, i make all the maps you are gonna see and tailor them so you get the most immersive and fun experience. Besides in person and online games I've hosted on-location DnD Events in Varna, Bulgaria. I got interested in the hobby in my early teens, watching Pathfinder games on youtube which eventually led me to join a few campaigns as a player from Pathfinder and DnD to Call of Cthulhu. But my main experience with the game is the thing i love most - being a Dungeon Master. I love creating immersive experiences for my players be it with maps i make, weather and sound effects or with the expansive lore of the world of Luminath where my campaigns are set in.

How Iro ( Zhivko ) runs games

I love to make immersive experiences for my players where we can delve deep into roleplay, each NPC having their own motives and goals. As much as i love roleplay i also love making combat encounters, each mob is tailored to the region and unique to the world so you can always expect something new ( but still balanced !). Besides normal encounters im a sucker for epic boss battles with custom mechanics which interact with the terrain and world. Another aspect i really enjoy are lovecraftian horror aspects, otherworldy beings and cosmic horror.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Kentaro Miura

Rules are...

a good outline to follow during combat but should be bent once in a while to show player creativity shine through.

When it comes to voices

i love to give every NPC a unique take depending on their upbringing and backstory. As well as that i love to play around with my DAW to add effects and modules for my voice live during play to enhance monster voices.

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

dependent on the scene. I love to see when the vibe turns relaxed to tense whenever the part witnesses out of this world horrors.

I love it when a player

comes up with creative solutions to the problems presented in the campaign

I think min/maxing...

is fine as long as the player does not try and force the other people at the table to play in the most optimal way, since everybody has a different idea of fun.
