About me
Hi! Are you up for a fun game? I'm Lena, your quirky, online GM and I can't wait to meet your characters and see their story unfold! Join our games if: ☕️ you like a relaxed and cosy atmosphere 📖 want your character to shine 🔮 have a knack for adventures and exploration ⭐️ want to check out cool VTTs and smaller systems I've been an active Game Master for over six years and know my way around many systems – some big, like D&D, and some smaller like Tales from the Loop, Hogwarts or Arc: Doom. Through trial and error, I've honed my skills to provide an exciting, inclusive and fun experience to all those who want to be someone else for an evening. So, roll the dice and face the music, with me! Send me a message if: 👉🏻 you’d like to request a campaign (a link to the list of available systems is below) 👉🏻 you are a beginner and you want to learn how to play 👉🏻 you are interested in a currently listed campaign but at a different time 👉🏻 you’d like to play in a one-shot adventure LIST OF SYSTEMS I RUN: https://drive.google.com/file/d/111QkzYDopiQtec5U7LfR-YJXcwsPYDxW/view?usp=sharing

🧡 NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE 🧡 Ever since I remember I’ve always loved telling stories. Whether you’d like a more linear scenario where you follow a plot and face the danger ahead, or you’d prefer a more improvised experience with an ever-changing narrative, I can provide it! My games are descriptive, full of memorable NPCs, beautiful locations and plenty of space for your character to bloom to life! 💛 DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 💛 D&D has been my first system and it has a special place in my heart. I prefer a more streamlined combat with plot-relevant enemies to hours-long fights. If you enjoyed watching social interactions and exploration in Critical Role’s campaigns, I’m a perfect match for you! Upon request, I can run any of the officially published modules and a few third-party ones as well! Message me for the full list! 💚 PbtA & YZE 💚 Have you ever wanted to play as Eleven or Mike from Stranger Things? To get back to the 80s, ride bikes with friends and fight monsters at night? I’ve got a perfect system for you! I guarantee that whatever you’d like to play, there’s a PbtA or YZE game for it - and if not, I can make it especially for you! Message me if you’d like to play: - Tales from the Loop - Hogwarts: A Roleplaying Game - The Walking Dead - Brindlewood Bay - The Root 💙 ALCHEMY VTT 💙 Alchemy VTT is a new virtual tabletop on the market and it has everything we’d need to play an amazing game. Whereas theatre of the mind is the primary focus, it’s easy to play D&D there as well! You can create a free account and test it out! I’ve got plenty of breathtaking scenes and climatic music just for you! I use it for worldbuilding and keeping the rules to all of the systems in one place. 💜 CUSTOM GAMES 💜 Is there a game you’ve always wanted to play, but couldn’t find a GM to run it? Well, try me! I promise to give you my best and if the gods of scheduling are merciful, we’ll set a date and start rolling dice!

Super friendly DM that makes sure to incorporate your backstory into the game while maintaining a balance between players.

Lena is amazingly dedicated. She legit gets up at a ridiculous hour in her own timezone just to run a game and she is AMAZING at it. She lets us be serious or silly and find all kinds of ways out of situations that don’t necessarily mean rolling initiative. She’s very kind and patient and reminds us of things we might be forgetting if we are new (ie bards forgetting to give bardic, lol). She’s been an absolute joy to play with and has made me feel super comfortable even though I’m still pretty new to actually being able to play games! I’d definitely recommend her—she’s great!

Miss Lena is a fun GM to have when playing a game. She lets us players describe NPCs and pick names for them (which helps [at least me] to enrich each session). She's very patient and knowledge able about the game (she is hosting) and I would recommend her if you're looking for a GM for a Harry Potter game.

Lena's great. She's heavy on narrative and roleplaying which happens to be my favourite part of TTRPGs. She's adaptable and very much follows the spirit and vibe of the situation or move rather than fixates on rules and limitations. There's creativity and passion, and it really shows in her games and even the preamble and post-game chats. And she also works to incorporate character backstory and lore into the world such that you play the story as written in whatever book, but also tell the story your want to define your character.

Lena is one of the best DMs I have played with. She is very creative, open to players' ideas and giving every player a chance to shine. Her sessions are rather mechanics-light, with the strong preference for role-playing, so if you like great storytelling, nice visual assets and interactions with other players and NPCs as an important part of the session she is a DM to choose. What is also important, her table is a very inclusive and safe space, and she is very good in helping very different people play together so everyone has a lot of fun.
