How My Adventure Began

I grew up never knowing role playing games. Something I deeply regret. That’s not to say that I didn’t grow up happy, quite the opposite in fact. The earlier years of my life revolved around music, I was in multiple bands (And still am!) and went through primary, high school and university studying music, music composition and performance.

After that I moved into teaching as most musicians do. Working with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures both in group and one-on-one sessions. It is here that I developed many skills that led to my eventual path towards role playing. Through my students I learnt of this game called Dungeons and Dragons where you could create a character in a fantasy world and do whatever you wanted, all determined by a dice roll and a game master. The idea sounded amazing and as soon as an opening in a session came about I was in.

From there, I was a player in multiple games, constantly creating different characters and different personas, learning day by day what I could do in this fictional world. After many years, I decided I wanted to try my hand at GM’ing (Being a game master) and connected with a group of friends who were previously players alongside me in other games. I created a new world, a myriad of towns folk to fill it out and a story that my players would eventually embark on. They are currently still in the same game, 2 years later, saving the world from a calamity of god like proportions. Every week we meet up and sit down at the table with our pens and paper before locking down into a night adventuring, laughs and fun.

My goal is to use the skills I’ve developed both as a teacher and a game master and use them to help people who are looking to develop their own personal and social skills through the power of role playing. The game lends itself to helping people discover an inner self, creating characters that would push boundaries in their own personal journey and allow them to role play out a part of themselves normally hidden from the real world.

And that’s where you come in :)
