About me
Hey, everyone! I’m Leland, a lifelong tabletop RPG enthusiast. I’ve been running games since I was 15 (that’s over 20 years now!), and my passion for storytelling, world-building, and breathing life into characters has only grown stronger with time. When you join one of my games, you’re stepping into a world filled with daring battles, ancient mysteries, and bonds forged through shared adventures. Every player’s voice shapes the story we tell together, creating a unique journey where we’ll celebrate victories, embrace unexpected twists, and build memories that last long after the dice stop rolling. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or brand-new to the game, there’s a seat for you at my table. I strive to foster an inclusive, welcoming space where creativity thrives and everyone’s contributions matter.
