Dan has been weaving stories and guiding players through epic journeys for over 8 years. As a seasoned Dungeon Master, Dan thrives on creating immersive, character-driven campaigns that welcome players of all experience levels—whether you're stepping into your first adventure or are a seasoned hero.
From sweeping high-fantasy epics to shadowy mysteries and horror-themed one-shots, Dan’s games are as diverse as the adventurers who play them. He loves crafting unique, homebrew worlds and tailoring every session to fit the group’s dynamic, ensuring no two adventures feel the same.

Since rolling his first set of dice five years ago, Luke has been captivated by the opportunity to create and explore compelling characters alongside his friends.
His passion for performance sparked his journey into live-streaming Dungeons & Dragons in 2021, where he showcases his knack for accents and love of role play across multiple channels.
Beyond storytelling, Luke uses these streams as a canvas for his creativity, diving into graphic design, art, as well as video and audio production. A true jack of all trades, Luke brings a unique blend of skills to every project he tackles.
Charlie has been an avid TTRPG player since 2017 and her love of Dungeons & Dragons has evolved so much over the years that she is now a very proud Dice Goblin to over 300 dice!
A drama kid at school, she always loved creating new worlds and exploring different characters and so brings a plethora of imagination, enthusiasm and dedication to her character.
When away from the dice tray, she can be found with her head in a book, off on a LARPing weekend or ready to play Magic the Gathering, because being a nerd is a full time job.
Like most people Dan found his origins with TTRPG’s at the beginning of lockdown and with an already deep love of much of the content out on the web, paired with a proclivity for creative writing, voice acting and fantasy he soon found his place in the world.
Spending years writing, playing, practicing and developing all of the passions he found fulfilled by these games. Dan has slowly become a creator of many kinds of content, aiming to now become a professional voice actor and take things to the next level.
Jo, a dreamer. Seeking an escape from the mundane, stumbled upon Dungeons & Dragons and the enchanting world of Critical Role.
Since then, she's been immersed in a long-term campaign before stepping into the spotlight to run her own sandbox game—a delightful circus of chaotic players where she reigns as the ringleader. Her circus, her monkeys.
Jo has a knack for creating characters you can’t help but adore, infusing them with vibrant accents and voices that bring them to life. A natural storyteller, she loves helping others remember that life doesn’t need to be so serious all the time, weaving humor and lightheartedness into every tale she shares.
When she's not crafting epic adventures, Jo is a real-life girl boss in corporate finance, proving that having a DM for a boss is as cool as it sounds. And in quieter moments, you might find her in the kitchen, nurturing her sourdough starter, Breadward Cullan, with the same care she gives her stories.
