About me
Hello! My name is Andrew and I have been deeply immersed in Dungeons and Dragons Games and stories since 1999. I began running 5e in 2022 and in that time I have ran Most of the published campaign books and so many of my own plots. I have been running Professional 5e Campains in person since 2023 at a wonderful Local shop and have been streaming online games since 2024. I love running Dungeons and Dragons and am making time to run even more games now!
