Creativity exists within us all

I've been a big fan of Table Top RPGs for most of my life. Critical Role was a huge part of that from their very first episode back in 2015, I watched campaign after campaign and was inspired to build worlds of my own to run my own games in.

Unsurprisingly, I fell in love with it. With the freedom and creativity to make whole civilisations rise and fall in my mind and found joy in inviting others to join me in stories we wrote together. They've been a huge part of my life and have helped me conquer things I've been going through and gave me an escape when it all became too much. Yet in all of it I've come to realise that so many people want to build worlds but find the task too daunting to do alone.

A lot of people even consider themselves not creative enough to achieve this task. But I think that's just doubt talking and all people sometimes need is a little nudge.

So welcome to Colabria, an international project centered around building fantasy worlds together from a blank map to culturally diverse and unique civilisations and stories. Everything we make together in the Streams (hosted on Twitch) will find its way here.

People and places, history and lore, gods and religions. Let's get something interesting going, something no one has ever tackled before. I hope you will all join me on the journey and help make this world an inspiring one.

Writing has shaped the person I am today.
I was always a sensitive and reserved child, the kind easily labelled “the quiet one.” Yet within that quietness was my world. A creative, restless world. Fiction became my refuge. I built characters, worlds, cultures and even languages in that privacy. Though English is not my native language, I committed to it early and developed my skills with intnetion and care. My confidence and sense of identity bloomed.


Gaming broadened my understanding of storytelling beyond the written page. It offered another form of escape, led me toward performance, voice work, and the art of conveying emotion through spoken word alone. Text-based roleplay strengthened my narrative instincts and character work. Later, music joined those units and with that introduced me to a more formative way to build worlds.


Exploring diverse themes through creative mediums allowed me to grow safely and thoughtfully, developing practical skills alongside emotional maturity.
I’ve studied computer science and am pursing a Bachelor’s in Informatics with which I expand my technical knowledge.


Iona, in particular, has been instrumental in this journey, offering a partnership in co-producing this project and making it into something truly meaningful. Her support and collaboration have been a lasting source of inspiration and motivation in bringing my stories to life.
