Meet Your Dungeon Master

Kelly Lynne D'Angelo

Kelly loves to use unique homebrew, story-driven settings, generally set in the "Magical Past". The style of her games tend to be focused on intrigue, exploration, and role-play, though there will be plenty of combat that brings you to the Big Bad... if you make it there, alive.

Collaboration, communication, and inventiveness with your party are key in her games - Kelly acts as a facilitator, more so giving the player a sandbox to play in. Important moments within the story have terrain and miniatures, to really bring the player into the battles. And most importantly, Kelly wants you to have fun: moments of laughter and joy around a shared table.

B. Dave Walters

High level, high emotion; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll crit. B. Dave Walters specializes in campaigns where there are no throw away characters. You’ll have the power to destroy a city but will think twice about fireballing a goblin just trying to feed its family.

Amanda Hamon

Amanda Hamon runs games with the confidence and craft of a veteran adventure designer. Her tables are built around clear stakes, strong pacing, and bold heroic action, giving players a game that feels polished, purposeful, and immediately engaging.

Amanda’s experience leading and shaping major Dungeons & Dragons adventures shines through in her ability to create scenarios that are immediately captivating, rich in depth, and satisfying to resolve.

Jason Charles Miller

Jason likes to run a balanced game, equal parts RP, combat and problem solving. He tends to get pretty detailed with NPC and world building, so that in a 3 day campaign his players may end up in a completely different place than he intended, but it's all up to the players to decide!

Beth the Bard

Every table she runs is a welcoming and collaborative space where player backstories, goals, and choices directly shape the unfolding narrative. Whether you are a veteran adventurer or new to roleplaying, Beth ensures you feel seen, supported, and empowered to bring your character to life.

Her games emphasize narrative-driven combat, rich roleplay, and morally complex choices—always with a touch of humor and chaos to keep players on their toes. Expect evocative NPCs, vividly described settings, and storylines that weave the fantastic with the profoundly personal.

With Beth at the helm, the game is not just played—it is lived.

Thor Knai

His games tend toward the "realistic" side of D&D, where vivid descriptions may make you question the moral grey-area players often find themselves in. He supplements 5e with his own house rules such as Crit tables and various other quality of life and tension-enhancing improvements. He is not a DM that tries to punish or "play against" his players. He endeavors to be fair and entertaining, and in his experience, some of the best moments happen when "mistakes" are made and things take an unexpected or unintended turn! The important thing to remember is that everyone is telling a story that all enjoy, together.

Jason Azevedo

Jason thrives on running character-driven, immersive gameplay experiences that focus on collaborative storytelling. As a Dungeon Master, he believes it's his responsibility to weave a story collectively with his players - if they have fun, his job is done. You can expect a PG-13 experience with lots of props and visuals and the use of hand-painted miniatures and terrain.
