David Bradley

A long-standing member of the tabletop roleplay community. David began the journey of honing his talents and skills as a gamemaster in the early days of Advanced D&D. He has GM'd at GenCon, playtested many roleplaying games, be been of gaming leagues, and always promotes the positive qualities of what it means to be a gamemaster and player.

David's favorite quote is, "Gamemasters need to be encouraging and supportive to their players, for without any players gamemasters are nothing."

Currently, Daggerheart and other fiction-first styled games are his favorites.

Everest Whaley

Aloha! I'm Everest, AKA Threnody, player of Ivy in Role of the Dice Season 1, and Jacqueline in Season 2! I hail from the Ozarks in Missouri these days. David's an old friend of mine from my days in Ohio!

I've been waist deep in roleplaying games since 7th grade. My best friend's older brother finally got annoyed enough to run D&D for us.

We made it five minutes before he killed us with traps so he could go back to watching TV.

I've played D&D since 2ed, Pathfinder, all manner of Chronicles of Darkness, LARP and tabletop, RIFT, GURPS, Candela, and- of course- Daggerheart. I love it all.

It's been a fascinating journey adapting my tabletop and LARPing experiences into something between the two, blended together to create the serial episodes we share with you.

I look forward to exploring the twists and surprises the world of the Hinterlands holds for you and us alike as we continue to bring you every Role of the Dice!

Ron Craswell

Hi, I'm Ron, aka:

Season 1: Bolēte, the fungril rogue

Season 2: Anise, the faerie witch

I make my home just outside of Seattle in the damp, gray Pacific Northwest (perfect mushroom country.)

My love of TTRPGs began back in the early 80s when a friend and I ran across those first 3 books from TSR in a local comic book shop. We'd never heard of D&D but pretty quickly knew we'd be hooked for life.

A forever-DM, it wasn't until fairly recently, when my daughter offered to run a one-shot, that I got to be an actual player at a table.

As a long-time critter, I've been following Daggerheart's development since it was first announced and only got more excited to play and run games once it was formally released.

I'm having a blast playing this great game with my new-found friends and can't wait to share this incredible journey with you all.
