About Vlue
Heya! I'm Vlue (he/him) a 30+ Finnish game master. I work in video games, production and design as my focus. I've been running TTRPG's for 16 years, on average above one session a week. I've other passed or approaching the 1000 sessions mark. I love deep stories, a variety of characters and a sizeable helping of silly. Combat is kept brisk and with moments of interest, so that it stays away from the dull repetitiveness. Lets play, laugh and cry together!

I became a GM because
My first dream job as a child was an author—spurred by countless days of reading. GM:ing was a perfect gateway to channel that passion in a collaborative fashion, where we mold feelings and emotions into evocative stories.
My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
Three easy systems to bring I'd bring any powered by the apocalypse game, Vampire the Masquerade and then finally DnD because it's always a safe bet and I am sure no matter what person gets stranded there with me will know the game and probably enjoy it!
When I'm not running games I'm...
Making games, I work at a game studio full time and spend my days living within the realms of games. Additionally board games, writing and spending countless our chatting with my friends in virtual reality. Dream life.
How Vlue runs games
I love to set the scene, giving you smells, sights, sounds and even the vague “feeling” that you get from places. I love shopping sessions, where we get to have natural interactions with NPC’s because there is something that both sides want. Deep interwoven stories, beloved NPC’s and when the tension cannot be broken by anything else than swinging swords and slinging spells, we roll for initiative. Combat is another space to stretch our roleplaying wings, where there is always something more to a combat than just roll and wait.

I once ran a session...
About a prison planet where the courtroom was a sauna. Which was obviously on and judges had to be rotated out as they got dehydrated. So unserious and so fun.
My favorite trope is...
I love cryptic oracles and gods. Their message can be understood in so many ways, giving players and the gm so many possibilites to improvise and mold the story.
Rules are...
An important framework to help us narrate the story, a lens which helps dictate how we engage with a topic. When the rules become a barrier for evocative moments is when they get blasted to kingdom come.
Vlue's ideal table
My table is for those who love depth in the worlds and npc's, there is always one more thing to be revealed if you look for it. The people who do extra well at my tables are the ones that jump at the threads I give them and the ones who point to new threads I hadn't even considered. If you characters have motivations and you wish to pursue those motivations this is the table for you!
