About Alex the Weaver
Hello Epic Heroes! My name is Alex, and I've been running TTRPGs for about 2 and some change years now and playing for four. I deeply love all things storytelling. I especially love telling stories that make people feel and think about things inside the worlds of fiction. I want to give my players a place to tell the stories they want. To be transported to another world full of life and wonder for them to explore and learn about. My day job is as a mechanical engineer, and I am a Greek mythology nerd. All my dnd games are run in a homebrew world based on ancient Greek myths. I’m also queer, neurodivergent, with ADHD and dyslexia. I take safety and respecting people's identities very seriously.

I became a GM because
I became a DM because I love telling stories and making worlds. I unfortunately have a severe case of dyslexia, and it has impacted me greatly. And D&D is a way to tell stories where I am not limited. Where my theater kid heart is happy and I get to do it in the company of others.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
I asked players and this was their responses. Thorough, Kind, Mischievous, Considerate, Imaginative, Impish (affectionate), Thoughtful.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I'm probably at work, planning for said dnd games, or on the phone with my long-distance partner.
How Alex the Weaver runs games
I run my games using Discord and Foundry VVT. My games are high role play, full of art, maps, thematic music, ancient lore, and meddling Gods. My ultimate goal is to help the players tell the story they want to tell together with everyone else at the table. I like to meet and talk with players one on one especially during character creation to understand what each player wants from the game and the story they wish to tell. I care deeply about safety and always start with a session zero and safety tools.
Alex the Weaver's ideal table
Every table every game is different. On my table you will find... Lots of lore and myths with plenty of jokes and laughter Emotional role play that will leave you in tears (in a good way!) Inclusive players and an open, friendly atmosphere A safe space to explore your character's goals, emotions and connections And a small community eager to meet you! Overall, my tables are best suited for the people who want to learn and to tell a story with their characters. Those who are willing to embrace the unexpected and ride down the road together with everyone.
