About me

Hey! Yuri here. I have been enjoying TTRPGs for a while, both as a player and a game master in many different styles of play and systems. I am currently a player in several live streamed actual plays, but I am definitely a storyteller at heart. And I am a firm believer in that every story is worth telling. I love the power that words hold, and love collaborative storytelling. It is a way I feel I can help people. Through giving you the escapism you crave, making you feel like you a part of something larger than yourself, or working on different facets of yourself through your characters and their new experiences. Lighthearted, heroic, sci-fi, fantasy, and even grim-dark or horror. All stories have a place at my table. So let’s go on an adventure!

GM Style

I usually homebrew campaigns that are sandbox style; where every decision you make influences the story. I really enjoy the improv aspect of it on my part, and have done all kinds of campaigns; from medieval and Greek to sci-fi and Victorian horror. I also do smaller campaigns with a more linear, video-game style plot and lots of handholding for those who are beginners in their dice journey. Newbies have a special place in my heart, and I love helping those who are newer in the hobby. Do you like role play? Political intrigue? Gritty combat? Complex puzzles? A movie-worthy plot? Let me know what your favorite part of TTRPGs is and I’ll give you more of it. Don’t know? Then let’s play and find out! (If you already have a group and only need the Game Master, go ahead and let me know what kind of game you all want to play and I can make a custom campaign for you.)

She is a very talented story creator, we all got super into the plot and ended up going over our time many times because we got so into the story. It was a very involved process too. She asked us what we wanted and did her best to include it.

She was very patient with me when it came to any misunderstandings around the rules I had. Plus, she made sure that I could see how much of an impact our decisions had on the world. She's pretty cool. I'd give her a 10/10, would play again.

She definitely is the type to make personalities and lore for every potential NPC and location you might go to. She worked with us to help develop all our characters and did a great job at including our personal ideas and weird wants in it. Has a huge binder with secrets so it’s hard to do something that’ll catch her off guard. It worked to get us all super invested in the story and I’m not gonna lie I teared up a couple times and of course we laughed like crazy. We all became really good friends after going through that adventure together.

Don’t mind this review! It is me and I don’t actually want to review myself. I was trying to figure out how they worked and I thought I’d be able to delete it afterward. I can edit it, but it will not allow me to delete it and that is an issue.
