I’m Doug, and I’ve been a fan of tabletop games and ttrpgs for over a decade. Among the group I’m the newest to take on the GM role.

I’m a husband, a father, and a lifelong nerd. I love a good book and a glass of bourbon! Outside of Tabletop Tether you can find me making steampunk inspired lamps on Instagram at @Steamandspirits.

What’s your all-time favorite board game or TTRPG?
Favorite board game is a tie between Lords of Water deep and Crisis

What character class do you always end up playing (or secretly wish you could play)?
I think I have spread it out pretty well as far as classes go! I am just now playing a paladin for the first time. But if I were to pick my favorite of those I've played...it would be my monk rogue shadow stepping assassin!!

What’s your proudest crit success—or funniest crit fail?
My monk rogue has been swallowed by a bunch of monsters!

What’s your go-to snack or drink for game night?
Gotta have bourbon or rum and cokes for the game!

Which fictional world (from books, games, shows, etc.) would you move into if you could?
I love the history and peoples of Middle Earth!

Why do you love tabletop games?
It's always amazing to play a great game with good friends! Lots of inside jokes come from playing games together!

What do you bring to the Tabletop Tether “party”?
I feel like a support character! A little charisma, a little intelligence, and enough wisdom to know how to keep things on task!
