About me
I got into D&D about 5 years ago when I moved to London and a friend ran a session for my birthday, although I almost died in the first combat to a bunch of low level goblins I really enjoyed my time. Especially when I had rolled 2 failed death saving rolls in that combat and on my 3rd roll was a nat 20. The dice love to tell a story. I played a bunch of games since then throughout the years. playing different systems. As for being a GM I have been running a home-brew sw5e campaign for about a year now with 6 players and have tried to do a session every week or 2. We have a whole discord dedicated to all the things going on in the world of this campaign. I do my best to make sure that my players are having fun and feel like there characters are involved with the overarching story. As an actor and creative myself I love getting into character with the players and creating a world and a collaborative story.
