About Kroshkeen
Hi there! I'm Yehor - though in the wilds of the internet, you may know me as Kroshkeen. The origin of that nickname is shrouded in the dark times before the Battle of Yavin... I'm a lifelong fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, and pretty much anything that happens among the stars - but my true love lies in high fantasy. My journey into D&D began back in university with AD&D 2.5e, and after a year of playing, I took the leap into DMing myself. As they say: "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee..." These days, I mostly run and play online, with Foundry VTT as my platform of choice. I host both official and homebrew campaigns and one-shots, mostly set in Forgotten Realms, but with my own narrative spin and flair. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I can’t just toss some monsters onto a random map and call it an adventure. Every encounter, every NPC, every scene - I craft them with care and heart. I want each story to feel like something alive, not just a script. I believe that no Game Master creates a world for themselves alone - it takes adventurers to breathe life into it. So, my fellow heroes and wanderers... where are you? Come to the dark side - we have cookies. P.S. Please note that I'm not a native English speaker — I have solid fluency, but you might hear a bit of an accent or occasional word mix-ups. That said, I’m always happy to clarify and keep the pace smooth for everyone!

People are always surprised when I tell them
People are always surprised when I tell them I'm a Game Master and play TTRPGs — that's how I recruit new cultists for Tiamat. 😈🐉
When I'm not running games I'm...
When I'm not behind the GM screen, I'm plotting behind a character sheet - playing in other GMs' games or sketching out the next big twist for my players. Prep never stops!
How Kroshkeen runs games
Welcome to the table, traveler! If you’re looking for a GM who blends high fantasy with sharp wit, emotional stakes, cinematic combat, and a deep love for player-driven storytelling, you’ve found your match. I don’t run “just another dungeon crawl.” Every map, encounter, and NPC is lovingly crafted and tied into a living world — whether it’s a faithful reimagining of the Forgotten Realms or a gritty homebrew setting with its own political intrigue, ancient secrets, and moral grey zones. In my games, you can expect: Immersive Roleplay: With meaningful choices, character arcs, and NPCs that react to your decisions. Tactical, High-Stakes Combat: Designed to reward clever play, teamwork, and bold moves. Expect drama, not grind. Story-Driven Exploration: From dark ruins to bustling cities, the world is alive with opportunities, consequences, and mysteries. Player-Centered Collaboration: I value your backstories and choices, and I’ll weave them into the very fabric of the campaign. Smooth Digital Experience: All games are run in Foundry VTT, with maps, effects, sound design, and smart automation to keep things fast and fun. Whether you're a veteran looking for rich storytelling or a new player eager to dive in, you're welcome at my table. Just bring your curiosity, creativity, and maybe a torch. Things tend to get dark down there.

Rules are...
Rules are the frame, not the painting. If breaking them makes the scene more epic, more emotional, or simply more fun, then that’s exactly what a good GM should do.
Kroshkeen's ideal table
My table is all about classic adventuring. I create a living, breathing world that reacts to the players, not a sandbox without consequences. I love when players work as a team, uncover mysteries, face dramatic choices, and embrace the danger together. This is a table for those who enjoy tactical challenges, rich lore, and story-driven exploration. I’m not a fan of PvP or inter-party sabotage — there’s already enough danger out there without poisoning each other’s water skins. So if you're here to backstab your fellow adventurers… maybe try the Zhentarim? If you enjoy cooperation, epic tales, and the thrill of a shared quest, welcome to the table, heroes.

I love it when a player
A tavern brawl? Boring fistfight? Let's grab a thug, slide his face across the bar, flip over a table into a group of startled patrons, turn them into allies, smash a chair over someone’s back, throw bottles of booze - and, well, maybe the tavern burns down. But hey, what a night!
I think min/maxing...
It's a winner! But TTRPGs aren’t about winning, they’re about the journey toward something that might feel like a win. A good min/maxed character is a balanced one - someone who lives, laughs, and grows alongside their party. Not just a mysterious stat block counting kobolds' skulls in the corner.
My perfect party mix is
1 vial of wild sorcery, 2 fists of raging barbarian, 3 blades in the dark, a dash of divine drama, and just enough healing to survive your own decisions.
