About me
Hail, adventurers! As a lifelong lover of gaming, fantasy, and tabletop RPGs, I have been an enthusiastic Forever GM ever since I began playing D&D in 1983. About four years ago, I started running weekly sessions in earnest, teaching both children and adults how to play while creating an atmosphere with engaging stories and ever-expanding worlds.
