ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
It's a chilly Winter's Crest in the cozy village of Pinedale as loved ones gather tight, share cocoa, and tell stories of ages past. Like any other prosperous small town, Pinedale is a tight-knit community built on honesty and empathy. Reports of an incoming blizzard have put a stop to any possible travel on the nearby roads, but Pinedale's residents don't mind. That just means more time spent together by the fire.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM

Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of different characters within a story. As you play, your character will make friends and enemies, fight monsters, discover loot, and complete quests.

But while the goal of many games is to score the most points or win, the ultimate goal of D&D is to tell a story. There are dice and Basic Rules involved, and often maps and miniatures or tokens, but the tools that come into play most often are the imaginations of the players.

ABOUT YOUR GM

I began my TTRPG journey back in 2015, as a DM! I bought the core set and that was the first time I ever got to participate in the game, despite being a long time geek. Since then, I have introduced over 100 different players to TTRPGs!!!

I've realized I love storytelling and worldbuilding, and helping players weave their own stories into my world is something I excel at. I enjoy both doing this as well as creating a collaborative story together!
A little about me besides TTRPGs is that I went to USF (University of South Florida) and double majored during undergrad while playing two sports (one internationally and one nationally. I have a BA in both Psychology and Fine Art.

In my own time one of my main hobbies is all kinds of fine art. I do cartography and calligraphy using traditional dipped quill and ink methods! I also enjoy gardening and plants, cooking, and own two little black cats. (My fav season is spooky season!) I'm also a costumer, and I’m a HUGE Tolkien fan. AMA. (Don’t, really, you may regret the lore dump)

Two of my personal tables are D&D 5e, (my main campaign has been running since 2015, it's now a level 20+ game) but my other personal table is a Dark Heresy 2e game. I’d really also love to run an Avatar Legends or LotR Campaign sometime in the near future!
