About Chef Ivan Ripov

Are you looking for a game that has risk and glory, where your characters story matters and combat has risks? This could be the game for you. I like a good balance where it feels like your choices have an impact. The world is alive around you telling it's own story. Where you can make it to become a great hero or fall to great villains. I've been playing D&D for 10 years. I've been a DM for most of it. I'm a Homebrew DM. I have my world i have worked on for 9 years with a lot of lore and story. I am currently finalizing a book containing my world and lore, and will hopefully have it done by 2025." I won't brag to be the best DM nor the best player. However I'm a Jack of All Trades Master of None. I like a comfortable setting where player's are engaged with one another and the world around them. I have run a myriad of themes in the past usually on the D&D 5e system. Including: Dark Horror. High Fantasy. Cyberpunk. Steampunk. Pirate. Wild West. Historical. Open World Adventure. (Worlding building) Post Apocalyptic. War. (Never Changes)

How Chef Ivan Ripov runs games

Choices Matter: I believe in a balanced game where your decisions have real impact. The world is alive, with its own story, and your actions can lead you to greatness or bring you to ruin. Engaging Worlds: I strive to create a comfortable setting where players are deeply engaged with each other and the world around them. Whether you're navigating a dark horror setting or embarking on a high fantasy quest, the world feels real and responsive. Attention to Detail: I emphasize the importance of tracking resources like food, ammo, weight, magic components, and other supplies. This adds a layer of realism and strategy to the game. Player Agency: I value player input and want the story to revolve around the party. Your actions and decisions drive the narrative, making each session unique and personal. Variety of Themes: I have run games in a myriad of settings, including: Dark Horror High Fantasy Cyberpunk Steampunk Pirate Adventures Wild West Historical Campaigns Open World Adventures Post Apocalyptic Worlds War Scenarios Refer to Rule Zero: The DM's word is final, but collaboration and player enjoyment are key. I might not be the best DM or player, but I bring versatility and a broad skill set to the table. I can be slow at times and have a small attention span, but this does not detract from my commitment to delivering an engaging and memorable experience for my players.
