Since I was 14, D&D has been a life changing story telling device and game to me. A game where when we say “anything can happen,” we really mean it. I have played and hosted many games of D&D since I found 5th edition back in 2018. Everywhere from typical on the ground mediaeval dungeons to space pirate fights. Scenes ranging from silly hangouts with the party, to deep emotional arguments and confessions. I like playing D&D in a way where I as the dungeon master give you the world, and we all tell the story. I want people to go home at the end of the day really thinking about the story and what could happen next. On top of my D&D experience, I am also an actor, trained and graduated from Fanshawe College in London Ontario, acting in community theater locally, and hoping to make a living off of it eventually. As such, I like to think the voices I bring to the NPC’s in my game are some of the best, and funniest voices. When I am not playing D&D or at rehearsal, I am usually playing video games, Magic the Gathering, or finding my next inspiration for a campaign.

I started playing Dungeons and Dragons back in 2018 and quickly developed a love for the game. This has led me to playing in and running multiple campaigns and one-shots since then, including the campaign I started playing in which is still ongoing today! D&D has allowed me to play with a diverse range of players from all over the world and showed me first hand its possibilities for encouraging creativity, collaboration and building friendships through shared memorable experiences, it’s even how I met my Fiancée! I strive to create games where the players come away feeling that they had a fun time, whether it be through exciting combats or tricky puzzles, or fun characters that they can interact with. D&D has been a major part of my life for the better part of a decade, and I am very passionate about sharing this game with new players and having more opportunities to tell fun stories, with a few silly voices included too! In my free time when I’m not playing in or running my own games of D&D I like to play board games and watch movies with my friends.

James is a local singer/songwriter, a bard by any other name. From the days of highschool, where he could be found playing old sci-fi table top role playing games during lunch period, to the last free weekend he had, James loves little more than eating cheese and crackers with his friends whilst engaging in Group Improvised Narrative Therapy. When not spinning a yarn with friends while rolling dice or hanging out with his kids, James can often be found trying to make the world a better place, either through song or through action.
