40-ish year old game designer who has been roleplaying for 25+ years and GM-ing for nearly 20 of those. I've been playing in my own settings and with my own ruleset for almost all of that time.   I am known by many names, but the most common ones are probably Mánagarmr and Toblin.   I have since left WorldAnvil and all my "stuff" here has been made private until it's been properly backed up.   If you wish to follow the development of Celenia, please head over to my Discord server, where all updates will be posted!
