About the adventure
You've heard the folk tales surrounding the Northern Woods; a seemingly endless expanse of pine trees and hills where even the most seasoned explorers can end up wandering for days. Those few that do find their way out leave hungry, exhausted, and terrified, spreading horrific stories that have taken root in the imagination of locals for generations. Arriving in the picturesque little village at the forest's edge, you'll uncover a web of murderers and monsters that's been slowly encroaching upon the town. A hunger growls from deep within the woods, demanding sacrifice. Ready your weapons and strengthen your will, as everyone's fate rests in your hands.

About me
Hi! I'm Ava and I've been passionately running Dungeons and Dragons since the 2020 Lockdown when my university friends were looking for something to do while indoors. Ever since then I've fallen in love with crafting worlds and stories, watching as my players have fun with their characters in moments that range from hilarious to heart-wrenching. In my years of DMing, I've played with both veterans of DnD and fresh beginners, ensuring that everyone is welcome at the table. In that time, I've also honed my skills in improvising roleplay and ensuring that each player gets their time in the spotlight. In my spare time, I also design battlemaps using Inkarnate that feature heavily in my homegames. I've DMed for two games that ran from level 1-20 over the course of 3 and a half years. For games that span a long time, I aim to incorporate player's backstories into the adventure, progressing their goals and development along the journey.

How Ava creates a safe table
Prior to the session I will provide players with a sheet of Lines and Veils marking hard limits on content that will not be in the game. Players can then let me know of any additional content they would like not to be in the game. I also have a 5-10 bio-break in the middle of session.
