About me

🧙🏾 Greetings, Adventurer! And welcome to my table! I appreciate you stopping by. 📚 My time as a biologist has taught me that humans are a storytelling species, and I would love to help you tell your heroic story in a fun and fantastical way! 🛠️ I enjoy constantly experimenting with storytelling tools, game design concepts, world-building, voice impressions, and digital tools to create engaging and immersive experiences for my players. 🎲 I have been rolling dice and telling stories with my friends, family, and local gaming club in South Africa for over a decade now. My love of fantasy began with Brian Jacques' Redwall series and other fantasy novels, then moved on to JRPGs like the Final Fantasy series, and now I get to tell my own fantasy stories for a living!
