About me
Well met, adventurers! I'm Avner, and whether you're brand new to tabletop role-playing or continuing a long journey, I'm thrilled to share a table with you. I started DMing 10 years ago when I got tired of waiting for someone else to run a D&D game and decided to learn how myself — and I've been immersed in the hobby ever since. In my three years on StartPlaying I've hosted over 300+ games and counting, and I've done my best to soak up every system I can get my hands on. My dice-rolling journey started with Warhammer Quest and HeroQuest, and these days I run and love 5e and the new 2024 D&D, Star Wars RPG, Pathfinder, Genesys, Cypher, World of Darkness, and many more. What ties them all together is the thing I care about most: players telling a shared story, with highs and lows that create memories lasting years. I've played in just about every format there is — dice around a kitchen table, across a camera, on Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds, and plenty of hard-fought play-by-post. If there's a way to play, I've probably tried it. What I bring to a table isn't just rules knowledge — it's a polished, immersive game with custom maps, atmospheric audio, written recaps so no one loses the thread, and a story we build together. I'd love the chance to bring that to you.
