About me
Hello future heroes! I have been Dungeon Mastering for close to 3 years now and have been playing TTGs for the past decade. DND5e is what I primarily use to enrapture my players into my worlds, but I am always up for learning the systems for other systems as well. My favorite thing as a DM is getting to see the characters the players create have genuine moments in the worlds that I spin, it really is a feeling like no other. That being said I absolutely love when my players go wild with the roleplay, but have an equal amount of joy when they immerse themselves in the combat. Overall I am fairly "Laissez Faire" with how players want to progress and interact with the world around them, so long as everyone at the table is onboard with the direction. Overall my campaigns offer opportunities for both role-players and combat aficionados to enjoy themselves and I am always open to communicating with players on any subject that they have about the game or DND in general.
GM Style
I have a preference for the nitty gritty style of DND. The stories where choices matter and where choices are hard for both the party and the npc's. Survival isn't a right that is guaranteed, but is earned through trials and situations that put into perspective who the characters in the party really are. However I am very flexible when it comes to what kind of atmosphere players want and I have no problem switching from dark and grim to airy and light hearted. As for how I operate on the roleplay aspect I try my hardest to make compelling characters and give them personalities that the party will find interesting or relatable. I love doing an assortment of voices and sound effects to really drive home that extra bit of immersion. Whether the party wants roleplay front and center or combat focus during the sessions is entirely up to them through communicating to me and also their characters actions can lead to one or the other. Overall I have no issue making a session lean in either direction if that's what the party wants.

Avi does a great job world-building and telling an amazing and involved story. He’s always up to explore/try what the players want to do, while balancing it with great knowledge of the rules. New and veteran players alike will greatly enjoy a game run by this DM!

Aveio is an absolutely amazing DM! He was super patient with me as I was learning at the beginning of the campaign and still is today with our shenanigans. He tells an engaging and well crafted story for us to follow and does so in such a great way.

Avi is an absolute blast to play for. He is very patient and kind when it comes to setting up a new character, where I especially appreciated his allowance of Homebrew, and during the sessions where he allows character development and moments/situations to breathe. He is also very knowledgeable and passionate about the material, really drawing you into the story. It's always a very engaging, fun, and positive experience. Great and awesome guy overall, and I would highly recommend Avi for any of your D&D needs

Avi is awesome! We’re over a dozen sessions into the two-part Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign and the party is having a blast! Avi does a great job including character backstories into the story if players give him things to work with. He will not hold back if players continue to go into combat, which can lead to some well-deserved, challenging encounters. I don’t think there’s been anything cool we’ve wanted to do so far that Avi has shot down, and he’s been on board with all of our shenanigans so far! Avi does a great job of describing anything theater-of-the-mind. In my prior DM experiences, it can somehow be hard to understand what’s actually going on, but Avi does a great job with both descriptions and voices. Avi is great for both beginners and veterans - For both D&D and for the tools he uses. I’m a roll20 noob but he’s been great at helping with any issues we have. He even sets up special macros as needed to make our lives easier. If you’ve gotten this far, stop reading now and just book the session! You’re not going to regret it! See you in the discord!
