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, often emotional ways. Whether it’s forging alliances, engaging in tense negotiations, or unraveling personal arcs, roleplay is always front and center. Puzzles and challenges are woven into the narrative, designed to encourage teamwork and creative thinking without bogging down momentum. They serve the story, not the other way around. Combat is cinematic and strategic, it’s important, but it won’t dominate the session-my goal is always to lead with storytelling. Expect a blend of character-driven moments, fun challenges, and dynamic action, all threaded together with a healthy dose of humor and drama. If you're here for the feels and the chaos, you're in the right game. Combat: ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ Exploration: 🔍🔍 Humor: 😂😂😂😂 Puzzles: 🧩🧩🧩 Social: 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Avel is a fantastic DM. She is a gifted content creator on many levels, and puts a lot of energy and thought into everything, from characters to maps to every detail of her worlds in-between. Also, she's the perfect ratio of kind and sassy, and has an impeccable sense of humor. You are in for a treat if you game with her.
Avel puts so much of herself into the stories that she tells and the tools that she uses to tell it. Animated maps, video vignettes, music - if it's an asset, she uses it. But at the core of all of the bells and whistles is a great story by a great storyteller. Add to that the kindness and patience that she brings to even the newest and least experienced of players, and you have an amazing DM that you will have an amazing time with.
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!
I played the Sleepy Hollow game last year and had a really good time. Great maps, great narration and voices, great pacing. It's a little difficult for me sometimes because I generally am always joining a game solo but I never felt like I always felt included and heard. It was interesting having 2 people DMing but it worked really well.
