About me

I've been playing for over ten years, and the last couple years have been starting to DM more often. I have experience with D&D 3.5/Pathfinder, D&D 5e (the bulk of my experience), and a smattering of others. I love running a little microsystem known as "Roll for Shoes", which is an absolute blast. I'm building a campaign-world for 5e with my players and I'd love your help. Come join me!

GM Style

I'm a combat-oriented, dungeon-crawl-loving player, and it shows in my GMing. I love watching my players interact, though, and am more than happy to let you roleplay amongst yourselves. I'll even try to roleplay the NPCs for you, but no guarantees it'll be as awesome as when you players do it. I can only hope to match you. I also enjoy puzzles, though I have a hard time finding good ones to include in my games. I'm happy to let you figure them out on your own, but if you're not a fan of puzzles, you can always ask to roll for the solution. And you're welcome to come up with some nonstandard solution, too - a clever way to avoid the puzzle (or its consequences) is just as entertaining as solving the puzzle the way it was meant to be solved.

Kids ages 12&9 loved playing with Alyksandrei! We originally signed up for a single one shot and at its conclusion, they demanded that we immediately sign them up for another. Which we obliged. Lol! They wanted to continue playing with her and the characters she helped them create, which with my kids, says alot. The rate for the one shot was unbeatable! We set the kids up in a separate room and husband and I enjoyed a quiet date night. Highly recommend!

Had so much fun at tonight's session. Thank you for the game! Cant wait for the next one! Very skilled at introducing the game and her chosen platforms to new players. So many cool little tricks and tips.

Alyks has a wonderful set up with Fantasy Grounds Unity. She knows the system extremely well and does a great job of teaching the system to newcomers. I had a great time in her Dragon of Icespire Peak campaign.

Alyksandrei has a wonderful command of the 5e system, and the adventure material. She shows remarkable flexibility, is always responsive to each player, and keeps a nice pace. We got to killing goblins right away, and succeeded on our first paid gig to deliver supplies to town.

Alyks is a great DM, she's very knowledgeable about the story and the rules, easy going and she makes it very easy for you to follow the story without feeling pushed to do it. She's great for all types of folks, from beginners to veteran players!
