NOT JUST A ROLEPLAYER
I’m an enthusiastic roleplayer, which is my most loved hobby. I’m designing my own tabletop RPG book called Deuspunk and I have been the main organizer at over twenty LARPS , some of which were very well known in the scene.
DEUSPUNK
Designing tabletop system and creating the world is not only interesting, but also very good game design practise. I also run RPG sessions on a very regular basis with various groups. My style is very cinematic, which is good practise in creating dramatic scenes and versatile characters
LARP
As a main designer and lead organizer at LARP events, I have experienced and learned so much, from character writing to creating plots, but also concrete skills around running the event and building sets and props.
