About me
Funny, beautiful, sad, emotional and surprising roleplay moments are what make D&D for me. I believe that any TTRPG story shines most when the GM and the players tell it together and have a lot of fun while doing so. I'm a 21- year old law student who has been delving deep into D&D for several years now. I don't have much experience with classical D&D, residing mostly on Planet Homebrew, so that means my games can be a little different from the classics. When I run pre-written content, I tend to personalise it to the players, the style I'm going for and other things. That way, no two campaigns - even in the same Adventure - are ever the same and players have a lot of freedom! I hope you'll find it enganging and refreshing; I'm happy to personalise for your needs! Creating a safe and inclusive space is important to me, that means that I'll always take your boundaries into account and you can message me about anything at any time!
GM Style
I love providing an immersive and well-though-out world for the players to roam in and choose their own fates. History, magic and personal interaction are all things I like to feature in my games, but I also roll with and happily provide some levity and wackiness at the table. Bad puns are my forte, be warned. If you like digging deep into a character, no matter how experienced you are at it, you'll probably enjoy my games. If you like encountering wacky NPC's with lives of their own to befriend, make enemies of, or play beard-pong with (yes, you read that right), you've also come to the right place. I always try to add in a healthy dose of combat, always with some form of narrative sense. In campaigns, that averages about 1-2 times per 2 sessions, depending on the story. In one-shots, usually 4-5 opportunities that the players can mostly avoid/work around. Definitely a rule-of-cool kind of person, creativity and descriptions are welcome and supported!

Lorai is one of the best DMs I've had the pleasure of DMing for, being a player of and DMing alongside. She puts in so much effort into each of her games and it shows as they each have their own sparkle and shine. Lorai runs a deep RP and political type game, always thinking of consequences or outcomes of the players action to use in the development of the plot further down the line which makes a very immersive world to be in, and helps to really suck your character into the world itself. She is also not afraid to homebrew or include new rules and discuss them with the party to make the campaign more interesting, fun and give the world more depth. Lorai is always keeping an eye out for her players making sure that everyone is having fun and that everyone gets their slice of "spotlight pie" but also making sure that everyone is comfortable and happy with the goings-on in the world. Though she is not afraid to throw in hard encounters and you may find yourself in genuine fear of some of the fights making them more epic and thrilling (to me at least) As expressed Lorai is an amazing gamemaster and I love each and every one of her games, if you're looking for a rich and deep new world to explore then I highly recommend her :)
Runs a great, very community involved game. I've had the pleasure of playing alongside her in a party, and in one dm'd by her, she pleasant to be around, and gets very involved in the hobby and community surrounding it. She'd always bring up the latest edition of unearthed arcana and was more then happy to help players through sharing her resources and working with them to create great characters and build great worlds to live inside of. She'll work with you to make sure your character is deeply integrated into the world, with great NPC moments and story beats that are highly personal to the character you've created. All and all, a great DM for those looking to really step into the shoes of their character, and live out every interaction and moment in vivid detail.
I've known Lorai as a deeply invested GM who will do their utmost to mirror the energy you put into the game and your character. They welcome input and feedback. Longer archs and storytelling roleplay sessions are their forte, but they are able to adjust to player requests most adequately. Short and sweet: You want roleplay? They'll give you roleplay. You'll also get some combat if it's plot-relevant. And they'll definitely give you combat if you decide to try and train a Triceratops.
She's an excellent game master. I've been part of the first game she has mastered two years ago, and the growth she has demonstrated is astounding. She excels in drawing people into her story with personal connections: you won't have the feeling that you're just a visitor in someone else's story, because she's guaranteed to involve your character in many ways. She's great at creating an ambience and creating a good flow in the story. As a consequence, discussions about rules are better resolved out of the game.
