About

The Author

Novina has been our game master since 2015, when a podcast inspired her to lead us in a Fifth Edition game. Players come and go, tables change from kitchen to virtual and back again, but Novina remains our GM. She believes in collaborative storytelling, inviting the game to flow around the shape of player ideas.

Novina has spent a great deal of time in natural areas, especially forests, for both work and recreation. Natural landscapes and supernatural phenomena play an important part of her games, which tend to be epic fantasy in which the heroes are defending the realm from a great evil.

When not playing TTRPGs or out in the woods, Novina can be found enjoying fine art, lively music, and good drinks.
