Our main campaign Adventures in Umbranthal <\/em>is made up of seven talented players and our Dungeon Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew (he\/him)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Esports caster, self appointed “Worst Sniper” in NA, and rocking a decade of D&D player time; it\u2019s Drew Trackhawk<\/em> Crawford! Coming to you live from a dumpy old studio, somewhere in the glorious streets of Calgary, Alberta, Canada! When he\u2019s not live on Twitch, fixing his 100% stable streaming setup, or sleeping, you can find him preparing his own long running D&D campaign, editing videos, or casting League of Legends Esports on a variety of different channels. Do not let the lawful Aasimar Veirona he plays fool you. Both of them are 1 cup of coffee, or bad day, away from disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt (he\/him)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\" in the wilds of south Alabama, Matthew began exploring the world of Dungeons and Dragons<\/em> by playing 1st<\/sup> edition during his early childhood.\u00a0 Whether adventuring as a murder hobo in elementary school, roleplaying with friends and struggling with THAC0 as a young adult, playing international games with 4th<\/sup> edition when living in Turkey, or recently DM’ing for my niece, nephew, (even roping my sister and parents into the game), I have always found Dungeons and Dragons<\/em> to be a creative outlet that allows incredible storytelling (and treasure!) and a welcome escape from our day to day lives.\u00a0 My other creative interests range from playing guitar to theatre to performing standup comedy.\u00a0 Having spent nearly two decades wandering the globe, living in six different countries, and often working in humanitarian responses, I eagerly look forward to playing as the ranger Fenn, as we explore this new world of Umbranthal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah J. (she\/her)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Aside from playing Dungeons & Dragons<\/em>, Sarah has a passion for all things creative. She is an author \u2013 currently in the middle of writing five different novel projects \u2013 is developing a Homebrew Dungeons & Dragons<\/em> campaign of her own, and is a published poet. She loves to sing and act and is working towards becoming a professional voice-over actor for animation, games, and commercials. Sarah is also the owner and operator of RPG Storytelling, a company she designed to help RPG Players develop and enhance the backstories for the characters they create and play. Celebrating her transgender and lesbian identities, she is married to her wife who has a Ph.D. in reproductive physiology and together they are mothers to two beautiful kitties, Chewbacca (Chewie) and Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alta Mirage (they\/them)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"I\u2019m Altamirage! I\u2019m a nonbinary artist, fashion lover, and gamer. I\u2019ve been playing D&D and tabletop for about 15 years, and DMing for about 7. Right now, I play in a couple games and DM two, and I work at a comic\/game store. Roleplay and character focused games and narratives are my favorite.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My passion is in storytelling! I make comics, I DM, I have a video game I\u2019m planning out, and I have too many characters to count. Other than that, I\u2019m an avid gamer – I\u2019m a Nintendo kid, but my love defies genres. My favorite games are Okage: Shadow King, Journey, and Yume Nikki. I also grew up on Revolutionary Girl Utena and Inuyasha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah N. (she\/her)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Sarah finds joy in the little things. A dice goblin, coffee connoisseur, and cat mom of four, she set out to create with Chris a platform for performers of D&D that would make a mind flayer proud. A player of the game for 7 years, Sarah thrives in the world of RPG. Her theater background paired with her speech and debate titles make for a truly averagely-rounded individual. When asked to quote her experience that qualifies her for this game, she stated, \u201cOof, well I guess I\u2019ll have to do.\u201d Armed with her uncharacteristically charismatic Barbarian Maple, and an overpriced notebook, Sarah hopes to bring a sense of togetherness to the table that will leave a moose-shaped mark on everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steph (they\/them)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Steph loves to level up in \u2018gamer nerd\u2019 constantly. Steph got started with Hasbro board games and The Oregon Trail on an Apple II back in middle school and in 2016 they started playing D&D. They\u2019ve been hooked ever since. While Steph is newer to D&D, they\u2019ve been roleplaying much longer…since the days of forum-based storytelling back in the 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steph\u2019s love to learn and explore helps explain their eclectic background and interests. Scuba diving, traveling, petting cats (and all pets), being silly, volunteering, as well as playing games (ttrpgs, video games, and board\/card games) make up the majority of Steph\u2019s interests. They never get tired of talking about the ocean (especially sharks), social justice, and weird stories from their past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they\u2019re not on Twitch with hp2xp or sidequeststeph (personal channel), they\u2019re likely gaming, learning something new, being helpful, or spending time with their partner and friends who also love games (that\u2019s pretty much a prerequisite for friendship).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacob (he\/him)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Jacob (Is Friday) was born in Fort Lewis, Washington and grew up in the Puget Sound area from Tacoma to Port Orchard. In 2006 he married his wife Sophie and in 2008 joined the Marines to follow the example set out by his father, who had also served in the military. He has served in various billets and occupations, to include: Aviation Ordnance Shop Supervisor, Martial Arts Instructor, Water Survival Instructor, Infantry Squad Leader, and Infantry Platoon Sergeant. His overseas tours include Europe, Africa, and Afghanistan. The Gods have blessed him and his wife with three children: Beckett, Finnley, and Rowan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he isn\u2019t pretending to be an elf on the internet, Jacob can be found reading, writing, and practicing martial arts. He is currently transitioning out of the military to enjoy a quieter and less stressful life with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris (he\/him)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Chris (on the Left) started playing D&D back in 1986 with the Red Box set. Most of his experience was with 2nd Edition from early adolescence through his early 20s. Coming back to the game in 5th Edition Chris has enjoyed spending more time on the sneaky side of the DM Screen. Outside of Hp2Xp Chris is a disabled retired Firefighter, shade-tree philosopher, author, and Human-At-Large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
