About me

Hello all! My name is Evris and I've been leading D&D 5e tables since 2019! I run queer and neurodiverse tables centered around homebrew settings that empower my players to tell meaningful and exciting stories! I look forward to many adventures together!

GM Style

In my games, I emphasize characters and their stories. I work with my players to develop meaningful and nuanced backstories. I'm far from a voice actor, but I do my best to give each character a distinct voice. I know the rules of 5e more thoroughly than I probably should, and I'm happy to help my players when they need to remember the details. I enjoy homebrew settings, items, and monsters, and designing thrilling combat encounters to highlight those aspects. Above all else, fun is my priority. My perspective is always collaborative above combative, even though I want my players to feel as though there is real stakes and real danger in every scenario.

Evris is such a fantastic story teller, and puts so much care into the intricacies of world lore. They have such an investment in the enjoyment of all the players at the table, whether it's their first time being in a campaign or their fifth.

Evris spent so much time and effort building an immersive world that would be fun for us as players to build upon and be a part of. They make sure we always strive to have fun first and foremost. They are also a wonderful DM for newer players, are a great teacher, and patient with players learning the ropes.

They always make me feel extremely included, and welcome, and they encourage me to make my own choices as a player, even though I’m still learning. They are really great.

Evris was my first GM and was very helpful with learning all about D&D and character building and role playing. They set up an environment built for fun and ease of access of the game through amazing writing, fun voices, and thoroughly explaining the answers to any questions I had. I cannot recommend them enough!
