Items and Characters
I am an experienced game master with over three years of experience designing, writing, and running hundreds of one-shots and a year-long campaign in a homebrew world. As a dedicated storyteller, I place great emphasis on creating role-play relevant items that enhance the players immersion in the game world.
One of my approaches is to create items that reward the players for exploration and daring feats. For example, I designed an item that provides the players with a great reward but a huge risk. This design not only incentivizes exploration but also rewards the players with a greater sense of immersion as they interact with the NPCs around them.
If you would like to explore more of my creations or discuss my approach to narrative design, please feel free to contact me. I would be delighted to share my insights and experiences with fellow enthusiasts.
Games
The Great Yosha
The Great Yosha is the culmination of my Bachelor Project, in which I developed the world-building and story elements. This immersive narrative is centered on the player experience, with a strong emphasis on immersion into an alien society that seeks to deceive and destroy the protagonist.
The game's core values prioritize player agency and choice, providing a deeply engaging and compelling story that delivers an unforgettable experience. In The Great Yosha, players will find themselves thrust into a world filled with dangerous and devious characters, forcing them to use their wits and resourcefulness to survive.
