About me
Hey there! I'm Avelaitixa (but you can call me Avel). I've been weaving stories and leading adventures for over 5 years alongside my husband Hawk, crafting immersive, exciting, and player-driven campaigns that make every session a unique experience. Whether you're diving deep into intricate political intrigue, sailing the high seas in search of lost treasures, or battling dark forces in forgotten dungeons, I love creating worlds that pull you in and let your imagination run wild.
GM Style
My DM style is all about heavy roleplay and immersive storytelling. I love to dive deep into character development, letting players shape the story and interact with the world in meaningful ways. Whether it's forging alliances, engaging in tense negotiations, or unraveling personal character arcs, I make sure roleplaying is front and center. Puzzles and challenges are woven into the story, striking a balance between intrigue and problem-solving without slowing down the momentum. I like to drive engagement with puzzles that encourage teamwork and creative thinking. When it comes to combat, I like to keep it exciting and tactical without overloading the session. Battles are cinematic and strategic, but they won’t dominate the game. Combat is important but more as a complement to the story, offering players the chance to showcase their skills without overshadowing roleplay. Overall, expect a blend of character-driven moments, fun challenges, and dynamic action.

Avelaitixa is a fantastic DM. She is so incredibly welcoming and is very patient with new players who are still learning the game and its mechanics. I've only played a one-shot with her, but I would absolutely be interested in joining a campaign or doing another one-shot with her if it comes up again! She is very fun and informative, making the game fun and easy for those of all skill levels. If you're thinking about joining one of her games, this is your sign to absolutely do it!
My first attempt at DnD was not a great experience -- so I was very hesitant to jump back in. Avel made my second attempt at DnD a fantastic experience. She answered all of my dumb noob questions with eagerness and absolutely no judgement. She offered up fantastic advice for a total noob without any judgement and took the time to thoroughly (and very pleasantly!) explain through all of my questions. In short -- I had an absolutely fantastic time and it has renewed my appreciation for DnD as a whole. Thank you very much!
Signed up for a one shot which had an awesome premise and set up! Unfortunately I had personal tech issues which prevented me from playing through the session and DM provided a refund without me even asking. Definitely hoping to join a session where I can fully play through with no malfunction cause she seemed like a such a supportive and invested DM!
