Kanen Nixon
Kanen Nixon to the intrigued: I have been a sword fighter at Blades of Glory for almost three years now, it’s certainly tough on the body but rewarding for the inner youth. I been playing D&D for over 10 years, planting my roots in 2e AD&D with my off-beat high-school friends in our basements. My objective through storytelling is to give a player the feeling their actions have consequences. My regular players say my games have a goofy exterior with large scale plots, and that it feels similar in calibre to episodes of ‘Adventure Time’.
Aaron Stewart
My name is Aaron Stewart, Ive been a player and a DM since 2020.
I Love D& D for Roleplaying, World building, and fantasy but most of all I love when the players get to have fun playing their characters and watch all of the interesting interactions and events that come from player choices. The games I build live in a cartoony fantasy world that are filled with comedic relief. As a DM I live by the rule of cool and love to make players wacky choices and actions become possible.
I hope to capture some of the thing I love about this game in this adventure and provide the players with opportunity to play the game from the other side of the fence so to speak.
Ian McLean
Ian MacLean has been roleplaying since the late '80's, when first introduced to D&D. He has since plunged into the hobby, running workshops at Epic Nerd Camp, winning multiple storytelling awards, and participating in charity events through Extra Life. In addition, his artwork has been published in supplements for Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and other RPGs.

Gryphon
Hail and well met! My name is Gryphon Nixon-Briard. I have been a Dungeon Master for half a decade or so, and I am deeply devoted to the craft. With experience running several long-term campaigns and one-shot games for newer players, I have cultivated a love for goofier style games with the occasional grotesque twist. I am passionate about collecting D&D miniatures, and when I'm not rolling dice, I enjoy cosplaying, sword fighting as one of the knights for Blades of Glory, and being a full-time falconer. My goal is to bring fun and creativity to every game, making D&D an unforgettable experience for any and all adventurers.
Dian Moriarity
Hello! My name is Dan and I have been involved with the TTRpg community for over 25 years, doing art for and writing for blogs, online magazines and independent games. I am from Bancroft where I manage D&D games for my local community working with both young and old and do my best to bring my favourite hobby to as many new players as possible. As a side note I am also a dabbling puppeteer and craftsman, performing with my handcrafted puppets and operating a small independent workshop for puppetry and other related works.
