About Alex (Shporina)

Hi there! I'm Alex, just graduated with a business degree, am 23 years old, and I've been deeply immersed in the world of TTRPGs for the past nine years, with five years dedicated to GMing. My passion for this community is boundless, and I thrive on creating unforgettable gaming experiences for my players. I've explored a vast array of games, from complex, rules-heavy systems to light, narrative-focused ones. My specialty lies in running improv and narrative-heavy one-shots, perfect for players who love spontaneity and dynamic storytelling. If you're not a fan of pre-written modules and prefer a GM who can adapt and evolve with the twists and turns of the game, then look no further. I've crafted adventures in diverse settings, including: 🦴 Caveman Times 🤠 Wild/Weird West 🧙‍♂️ Traditional Fantasy 🏴‍☠️ Pirates ☯ Cultivation Fantasy 🌀 Super abstract, interpretive games where you start as nothing I also co-created a unique TTRPG as a university project.

How Alex (Shporina) runs games

My GM style is highly reactive and improv-focused. Imagine you're on a quest and notice a fascinating tree; that tree could suddenly become the centerpiece of our session, with the dice guiding unexpected encounters and stories. I love the unpredictable magic that happens when players' decisions drive the narrative, creating a unique and collaborative storytelling experience. My philosophy is to embrace the story that the dice are trying to tell, ensuring every session is a fresh and engaging adventure for all involved.
