About Sovaelis

I like to weave a dramatic narrative through a balance of roleplay and tactical combat, setting the stage for heroes to be brave in the face of overwhelming odds. I aim to create an experience where players are thrilled by epic challenges, have lots of laughs, and feel the emotional weight of a shared story in a highly immersive experience. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and safe community for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players. I am a transfemme person myself, and I have no tolerance for bigotry of any kind. This is a space to create, collaborate, and share in the fun of the hobby together. I am an avid user of safety tools to keep my games fun and light-hearted. Even when the fictional tensions are high, the game stays fun! I will handcraft an adventure for you based on your group's interests, featuring my own custom maps, characters, and storylines. Do you prefer a thrilling narrative where RP takes priority, do you enjoy a good dungeon crawl, or maybe a harmonious blend of the two? I will happily accommodate your group to offer the best play experience I can provide! Additionally, if you have an adventure module you would like me to run for you, I would be more than happy to provide such an experience as well! My price for a custom game is $30 per person. Sessions are typically 3-4 hours, but the session duration can be tailored to your preference. I will provide a captivating experience featuring custom maps, fun NPCs, and quality voice acting. I will incorporate your characters' goals, flaws, and backstories into the narrative. For me, the comfort, wants, and needs of my players always take priority.

I got started GMing...

in high school with my friends! We had no idea what we were doing, but we had a lot of fun making up our own stories. I've never stopped since I started, having now run hundreds of sessions. Along the way, I've been inspired by Critical Role, Matt Colville, and other talented GMs right here on SPG!

How Sovaelis runs games

Combat and RP My games tend to emphasize unique and dynamic combat with a strong narrative element. At my table, the narrative fuels the combat which, in turn, fuels the narrative. My combats always feature unique design in one way or another, keeping combat engaging, challenging, and cinematic. I aim to give my NPCs depth and strong characterization. Prepare to adore lovable characters and despise despicable villains. What to Love My immersive adventures, cinematic descriptions, and voice acting have been consistently highly recommended. Rule of cool often takes priority over the rules themselves. That said, I aim to run a fair, balanced experience. I love using "how do you want to do this?" when someone lands the finishing blow on a big bad. Give me those gorgeous descriptions of your heroic triumph! Player Experience Impactful character decisions, flavorful descriptions, and teamwork are always encouraged and rewarded. Character voices from players are welcomed but never enforced. Comfort and collaboration always come first and foremost in all of my games. I strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable throughout play.

Sovaelis's ideal table

My ideal table is one where we all feel like collaborators on a shared story, each of us bringing our own ideas to contribute to the game. Whether we're running a pre-written adventure or a homebrew campaign, I'd like us all to be a part of the fun together. By contrast, I do not enjoy an optimized group. Power builds and meta knowledge are discouraged at my table, as it takes away from the fun for me. I'd prefer a cinematic and dramatic conflict over one character dishing out loads of damage. That said, my games definitely feature their fair share of combat. I love an exciting challenge against a monstrous foe, a race against the clock to stop the evil ritual, or even a life-or-death boss fight! For me, the storytelling doesn't stop when initiative is rolled.
