About me

I've been a tabletop role-player for 35 years. Started playing in 1989, AD&D, Middle Earth Role Playing, Palladium Fantasy RPG, White Wolf's World of Darkness and Call of Cthulhu. In 2000, I established a local gaming club for 40+ gamers over 6 years. I learned so many great games during that time, ShadowRun, GURPS, Serenity, Justifiers, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, everything D20, too many to even list. I retired from the club in 2006, when my first child was born. Played campaigns and one shots with close friends. 2010, I introduced my children to tabletop role-playing games. My wife and I have played rpgs with our children such as HeroKids RPG, Mermaid Adventures, Camp Myth RPG, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Star Wars D20 and SW FFG, Mutants & Masterminds, Dungeons & Dragons, StarTrek D20 and StarTrek Adventures, and in recent years, Call of Cthulhu and Vampire the Masquerade. In 2013, I began running tabletop role-playing games online at Roll20. I've run over 360 hours for over 250 different players from around the world. In 2019, I became the host of Raised on DnD podcast which inspires families to play tabletop role playing games together through interviews, actual-play episodes, and live events. Currently, over 90 episodes featuring over 106 guests. In 2021, I published my first tabletop role-playing game module for DnD 5e. I have given away other original modules for several different game systems over the years. In 2022, I became a Professional Game Master for Hire, either One Shots or Campaigns at Startplaying.games and you can read reviews by my players at https://startplaying.games/gm/cardarelli
