About me

~-=*=-~ Welcome, traveler. What brings you to my humble corner of this ancient archive? What is it you seek amidst these shadowed stacks? A parable? A story? A saga? Perhaps. Yes, indeed. I believe I may have just the sort of thing you are looking for. Tragedies, comedies, absurdities and every shade in-between. Tales to amaze and astonish, to inspire! Tapestries of terror, scrolls of sorrow, histories of heroism, and records of renegades! Pieces that will move you, like the currents of a vast ocean. All are welcome here, my friend. All can find a story that suits them, here in my collection. Simply step beyond the page, and let us begin. ~-=*=-~ Hello! Thank you for checking out my page. My name’s Alex (I also go by Xander), and I’m a professional actor and voiceover artist with a passion for tabletop gaming. Ever since I first started playing in 2016 I’ve been HOOKED! I got to play in a D&D 3.5 campaign that summer, and in the fall of that same year I started running my own games. I run… a lot! There were times during quarantine that I was running 7 games a week, even. I just love the hobby in all its forms, and I’m equally passionate about sharing the fun with anyone who wants to join! Feel free to shoot me a message here any time! I’m happy to answer whatever questions you may have about a potential game. In the words of Gandalf the Grey, “I am looking for someone to share in an adventure…”
