About me
Hey! You can call me Gabe or Averyn. I'm a writer, artist, and storyteller. I have been ensorcelled by TTRPGs for most of my life and have played and organized D&D 5th edition games for over 5 years. My goal as a GM is to foster a safe space for players to grow, explore, and collaborate to make a story they will remember!
GM Style
I create a story around the characters which inhabit it, thus roleplaying is key to the games I run. I also like to include elements of combat and exploration that compliment the story.

Gabe is a great GM that really invites the players to create their own story while guiding them through a great adventure. Gabe knows how to have fun and 'go with the flow' in order to create a more enjoyable atmosphere. It's always great when the GM puts in the effort and, in Gabe's case, goes the extra mile to make sure each person is included and their character is always part of the fun!
I am a player in the campaign "In the Wake of the Death," run by GM Gabe, and this has been such a fun experience! I created a custom character with a lot of funny attributes for a very dark-toned D&D campaign, and Gabe found a way to seamlessly integrate my backstory into his world-building. When asked to do something unconventional, we had a great and engaging discussion, and the GM was open to adding some checks to see if we could achieve our wacky problem-solving methods. I personally love the rule of cool, and I appreciate when DMs are willing to work with players' creativity and unique approaches. Before starting the campaign, we were given clear potential trigger warnings, and for those who needed adjustments, GM Gabe found ways to describe the scenes that made them appropriate for those individuals. Overall, it was a safe environment.
Gabe is a fantastic DM who truly excels in creating an immersive and fun experience for players. They balance creativity, storytelling, and a deep knowledge of the rules, which really helps the game flow while keeping players engaged. One of Gabe's standout skills is how effortlessly they roll with player shenanigans, always making sure everyone is having a great time. They encourage creativity and make each session feel like the players are driving the story. The use of music and soundscapes added a whole new layer to the atmosphere, heightening the mood in key moments and adding that extra touch of immersion. Gabe’s villains are well-crafted, with encounters that ramp up the intensity in exciting ways, making you feel like you’re really in the thick of it. The pacing was great, especially after we left the base, and the adventure hit its stride during the action-packed moments. Players who enjoy a good balance of rules, creativity, and story-driven gameplay will love Gabe’s style. Whether you're new or experienced, Gabe's table is a welcoming and fun place to play!
