About me

Greetings, Adventurer! I am your humble GM, Yanas, and welcome to my table! I have been a full-time pro-GM for about a year, running fifth-edition Dungeons and Dragons for about a decade for my friends and as part of a local gaming club. I enjoy tinkering with game design, world-building, and voice impressions. I used to be a marine biologist, so I like to add a bit of science fun where possible.

GM Style

Everyone having fun together as a group is my foremost priority. A 3-4-hour session is a lot of time to take from a busy person's schedule, and I treat that respectfully. Player agency is my second priority. The whole draw of TTRPGs is that they allow for doing much more than what can be coded into a video game. So, I try to allow as much freedom as possible without breaking things. I lean more toward a high-fantasy and light-hearted style of play, mainly focusing on role-play and combat, with some light puzzles and survival thrown in there where appropriate. I favour the rules as they are intended for a fun group experience rather than how they are written. I enjoy building captivating worlds and crafting immersive experiences for my players. I also enjoy constantly testing and tinkering with the latest high-tech tools and resources for TTRPGs to improve my skill set and player experience.
