About GM Avrey

(Booking availability: Weekends only. Systems: 5e 2014, Pathfinder 1e, Vampire the masquerade 1st or 2nd. Mage the awakening 2e.) I have over 17 years of experience with D&D and other tabletop RPGs, and I’ve spent more time as a DM than as a player(forever DM). I love building worlds and bringing them to life! I hand-make my own battle maps from foam and add extra flair to my sessions with props, music, and sound boards. I’ve also acted at the renaissance festival for 10 years, so I’m no stranger to improvisation or stepping into character. TTRPGs, and D&D in particular, have been a passion of mine since a young age. It’s always been a big part of my life, and I still get excited every time I sit down at the table. I especially love getting new players involved and watching them come back wanting more! My goal is to make my games interesting enough to draw you in, and freeing enough to let you play the way you want. The point of playing this game is to have fun and share stories with friends old or new. We’re all here for the same reason, so let’s make the best of it!

I got started GMing...

When I was 11 years old, I would go with my father to his friends house when they played. Rather than reading or playing video games I sat in and watched with amazement at this game I knew nothing about. Hooked from the start.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Prepared, Unpredictable, Entertaining.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Spending time with my family and always thinking of of new ideas no matter where I am.

How GM Avrey runs games

Each campaign I run has multiple starting and ending points for every quest or mission. I like to lay the world out and let the players play the game how they like to. Be the "good guys" to save the day or be the "bad guys" and join in on the chaos! My games are made to be narrative focused and open ended. Both new and experienced players are welcome! If you're less into narrative focused games and more into tactical dungeon crawls. I've got one-shots with pre-made characters ready to go for those wanting to jump right into some action!

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

The players themselves. The story runs in the background at all times but it's what the players do that matter and shape the story.

Rules are...

The rule of cool and whatever we decide on session 0.

When it comes to voices

I honestly give it my best shot and sometimes I'll use a voice changer. However, I am well aware of what I'm good at doing and what I'm not good at doing. So don't expect too much from me here :'D

GM Avrey's ideal table

I like to keep things lighthearted so my players should feel free to have ideas, make jokes and speak their minds! I want everyone to feel as if they just went over to a friends house for games after a long week of work.

I love it when a player

I love when a player does the unexpected and solves the "problem" in the most unconventional way possible. Not that I want or expect that all the time from everyone, but gosh darn it's good when it happens.

My table is not the place for...

Anyone who want's to make the game about themselves or who would want to derail the game for the sake of a rule would not be ideal. We are all here to play games and have fun doing it!
