Eleonora "Villanora" Villani

Writer, Content Creator, and RPG Author, guest of the Araldi collective - Will be at Play 2025

If it’s dystopian, dark, or desolate—Eleonora "Villanora" Villani is into it. A lover of post-apocalyptic settings and science fiction, Eleonora has always been passionate about RPGs, wargames, and board games. In recent years, she has merged these interests with her career in writing, creating themed content across her social media channels.
Her most popular video series include Warhammer 40,000 Senza Impegno, where she presents short, accessible, and humorous lore videos for newcomers, and Guida Senza Impegno alle Bande di Mordheim, made in collaboration with Mordheim Italia, offering concise overviews of each playable faction.
She also streams RPG sessions, gamebooks, video games, and interviews with prominent names in gaming, modelling, and literature.
As an author, she has published the post-apocalyptic trilogy L'età della polvere with Edikit Editore, the satirical mystery series Solite Storie Noir, and LEVEL UP!, a quick-start guide for new RPG players. Since 2022, she has also collaborated with Serpentarium, publishing three adventures for Sine Requie: La Cura di San Leo, Il Volo della Mosca, and Adamo.
At Play 2025, Eleonora will be present every day in the War Pit area, where she’ll lead RPG sessions and take part in various events and interviews.
