Our Game Master!

Hi, I’m Kody! I’m an actor, theatre director, writer, and game master. My early experiences with performance and gaming revealed the power of storytelling, transforming escapism into a deep passion. I’ve been running TTRPGs for nearly 10 years, using my skills as a performer, storyteller, and host to craft memorable stories for everyone at the table.

I’m a strong believer in the collaborative nature of TTRPGs, enjoying improvisation and giving players a voice in shaping the setting and direction. At my table, you’ll find a welcoming environment where you can be silly, creative, and make meaningful choices with real consequences. No matter your experience, we’ll make amazing stories together.

Hey, I’m Nick! By day, I’m a painter and tradie, and by night, I run TTRPGs. I moved to Bendigo from Geelong about a year ago, and it’s been a refreshing change. I started playing TTRPGs three years ago, learning from a veteran who’s been playing since the 1980s. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the game and even collect original 80s D&D books.

My inspirations are video games and anime, especially when it comes to progression systems and fun builds. I enjoy learning new systems but keep things practical at the table. My games are relaxed, welcoming, and focused on fun—no deep rules knowledge required. I love running games for newer players or anyone looking for a low-stress, good-vibes experience.

Our Dungeon Master !

Hey there! I’m Zoe, your Game Master and storyteller. I started GMing when my group needed a guide, and once I rolled my first initiative, I was hooked. What began out of necessity grew into a passion for worldbuilding, lore, and crafting tales where anything can happen.

I draw inspiration from everywhere—street encounters, pop culture, fellow GMs, and, of course, the chaotic magic of the table (including a legendary Battle of the Bards featuring a goblin rap group called G.W.A).

At my table, expect lighthearted one-shots filled with exploration, combat, puzzles, and plenty of laughs. No experience needed—whether it's a birthday, family night, or your first D&D game, I’m here to guide you on an unforgettable adventure.

Hi, I’m Lee-Anne (Lee for short)! I’m married with two kids and three fur babies who think they’re in charge. I started running TTRPGs six years ago after my original GM became unavailable, and it’s been a passion ever since. What keeps me coming back is the joy of making people smile, laugh, and connect with others.

I’ve been GMing professionally for nearly 4 years and at one point, ran 5 campaigns a week! For me, the heart of TTRPGs is collaborative storytelling, and much of my creativity comes from you, the players.

At my table, you’ll find a fun, engaging atmosphere with a balanced campaign focused on memorable moments. If you love structure, chaos, and storytelling—come roll initiative!

Hey, I’m Grace! A cosplayer and DM with six years of tabletop experience. TTRPGs have brought me lifelong friendships and memories (right alongside my three gremlin cats), and I love sharing that magic with others.

For me, TTRPGs are about community and acceptance. Drawing from my love of classic fantasy and my queer experiences, I strive to create inclusive and hopeful tables.

I run roleplay-heavy, rules-light games that focus on creativity and “rule of cool.” Problem-solving is always encouraged, and my table is open to all players, no matter their experience level. You tell me your idea, and it’s my job to help make it happen. If you’re looking for an inclusive, joyful adventure, you’ve found your seat!
