About Jane Raw

Hello Hello wanderer 🧙‍♂️ I am a fantasy enthusiast with a 🔥burning🔥 desire to make your stories into legends that will never die! Your decisions are what creates the most epic moments at the table. So please, pull up a chair and lose yourself in fantasy in a safe and fun way with others alike. 🫶 🕯️I have been running fantasy games since 2020 and have a lifelong history in storytelling. Along with many homebrew games (online and in-person), I have had the pleasure to be the GM for four different groups playing the Curse of Strahd adventure from start to finish. I would say that bringing people back to the table week after week and to be able to keep up the fire even in long campaigns is one of my strongest qualities. 🧭My style is inclusive, player-driven, and collaborative, with a strong focus on meaningful choices. You can expect an immersive experience where your decisions shape the game world and leave lasting consequences. 📜I keep rulings consistent (Rules As Written) and give players time to think, so that your choices truly matter. Combat can feel crunchy and tactical, and I use Foundry VTT to keep scenes clear, dynamic, and easy to follow - especially when things get intense. However, I always try to add a spark of flavor and role-play to every situation to keep it immersive. ⚡My games are especially suited for players who enjoy roleplay, thoughtful decision-making, and stories with real emotional weight. Intense, funny, and/or deeply meaningful. You enjoy my style if… 🧞‍♀️ You enjoy roleplay (my funny voices included😄) and collaborative storytelling 🧝 You appreciate a GM who is clear, fair, and consistent 🧌 You want a serious, immersive game run with a professional mindset 🕵️‍♂️ You like stories where your actions actually matter 🌟Check out also my introduction video to get a better feel of me as a person.🌟 https://youtu.be/MQPzA7si3I4 💥 1-on-1 Coaching Available If you want to sharpen your skills as a GM—or elevate your play as a player—send me a message and we’ll craft a plan that fits your goals. 🇫🇮 Finnish-language games available — just message me privately. 🤎 Welcome to my table.

How Jane Raw runs games

As a GM I am a storyteller and a role-player more than anything else. For me roleplaying means (voice-) acting and really giving all that I got to make the experience immersive without holding back. On the other hand I am a referee and it is my style to try to keep the ruling consistent and transparent. I do this by following Rules As Written and the dice rolls are visible to my players as well. There are no winners in TTRPGs and I absolutely don't like to play against my players. I am all about epic stories and having a good time.

Rules are...

Good for consistentsy and transparensy. As a player you deserve to know what to expect as a result for your actions. This will give you more agency.

When it comes to voices

I am all about voicing my NPCs. This is my way of bringing the world alive and making memorable social interactions.

Jane Raw's ideal table

Storytellers and role-players who appreciate the consistency of the rulings by the GM. I do my best to follow the Rules As Written without forgetting to describe the world and what is happening. The combat can feel a bit crunchy but I try to keep the game going and not bring it to a halt, while giving the players the chance to consider their options even in a heated situation.

I love it when a player

Surprises me with something unthinkable. Crazy, unexpected and questionable choices make my eyes shine! I also love it when players roleplay their character with a devotion and really think from their characters perspective.
