About the adventure
You were never meant to be a hero. You had a life. A simple one. A good one, maybe. A bakery to run. A field to tend. A quiet place in a world that never asked much of you. And then, something changed. Power found you. Not trained. Not earned. Just given. Along with a single, undeniable truth: Something is wrong with the world. And somehow, YOU are meant to face it. Now you and a handful of others must leave everything behind to uncover what’s happening, understand what you’ve become, and decide how far you’re willing to go to stop it. Because whatever is coming… it’s bigger than you think.

About me
I started with theatre and improv in my teens. I went on to do both professionally for a while before cycling through an eclectic career that involved mental health services, politics, education, analytics, and more. In 2020, I left behind the life of a permanent address and have been traveling the world ever since. I bring to my tables a diverse background, a deep love of telling stories, and a sincere desire to feel big feelings with my players. I tend to favor the RP and story aspects of the games, while combat is a tool for those goals rather than the central focus of the game. I am unapologetically queer and so people can expect many of the characters in my worlds to be, as well. I believe that if the fantasy world I create is less diverse and interesting than the real world, then I have utterly failed at the entire point of the thing.
