About me

Hi There! I'm fairly new to Dungeons & Dragons (5e) but it's completely stolen my heart, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. I grew up in a region of Ireland known as 'The Boyne Valley', or 'Brú na Bóinne' in Irish. This region was once the seat of the High Kings of Ancient Ireland and what remains of their Kingdom, their passage tombs, can still be seen today. These ancient sites filled my days with wonder as a child - I spent lots of time running around with my dogs tying ribbons to fairy trees, tossing coins in holy wells, and probably stepping in a lot of not-so-magical sheep poo along the way! There're even modern day Druids who gather at these sites for religious purposes, especially at times like the Winter Solstice. D&D helps me tap into that sense of wonder I had as a child and injects a little bit of magic into the everyday.

GM Style

As a DM, I like a healthy mix of roleplay and combat, seriousness and mischief. I don't mind being hands on and supporting players who are brand new to get the most out of their play. I prefer players who don't take themselves too seriously and are just there to have a bit of fun with likeminded people. I'm a big believer in having a good time over strict adherence to rules and I'm happy to chat to players about which house rules they prefer to play by. Since I'm new to DM-ing, I'll just be running out-of-the-box Wildemount adventures to start with and see how things go from there.
