About DMShawn
I am a veteran of the US armed forces who has been playing table top role playing games for over 40 years. They have always been an escape to adventure when the doldrums of life get you down. I love to craft and share stories of elaborate and wild adventures. I am always working out the next campaign or game even as I run the current one. There is nothing better than running a great game or campaign session where we craft a fantastic story together.
