ABOUT GPB

ALL KINDS OF GAMES
I play a variety of games, from Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) to board games, card games and some PC games as well.
My interviews are with people creating homebrew D&D content and creating their own, completely new, games!

BRINGING THE GAME TO YOU
During the year of 2020, I decided to start painting miniatures again. I hadn’t done that in 30+ years and figured it would be fun to make videos of my journey.
While this was fun, I started to fall in love with all the content being created and decided to start interviewing the creators of all this awesome content and Session Zero was born.
After 30+ episodes I’ve interviewed the most diverse group of creators from Twitter and elsewhere! Please get to know some of these fabulous people by watching my interviews!

ABOUT ME
I’ve been playing games of all sorts for 30+ years, including D&D. I currently DM for several groups and play in several more! Along with games I do some miniature painting, badly. I’ve even gotten my husband into gaming and we’re having a great time playing together!
