Meet the Tabletop Misfits
James - Founder, CEO I'm James - I'm a nerd driven dad and the "OG" of Tabletop Misfits. I started playing tabletop games in high school but my love for writing, storytelling and collaboration roots developed years before. As a young child you could find me at the library computer lab for hours writing collaborative stories on websites like Neopets, MSN groups, and reddit forums. I fell in love with the stories inside books like The Forgotten Realms, Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, Star Wars, The Dragon Riders of Pern and many others. I started game mastering in college after learning the ropes from incredible story tellers and masters of their craft. From there I was hooked and continue to strive to share stories that my players they will remember for a lifetime. You can find me running games, dressing up, adventuring through conventions/ren fairs and enjoying these things with the incredible friends I've been honored to meet along the way. Here at Tabletop Misfits I am known as "Prime" and really all that means is I have to do a little of everything. I am a show producer, planner, video editor/graphic designer, storyboard writer, and those are just the roles I can think of at the time. You will find me game mastering for shows like Dress to Quest, our rendition of "Rime of the Frostmaiden" and Pendragon - The Broken Veil. I am your humble tavern keeper and host of Tavern Talks our interview spotlight for people within the TTRPG space and showcasing the talent of our community. You will see me as a guest on numerous other shows on the channel and at TTRPG conventions. That being said, who's ready to roll some dice?
Chuck aka B3AK3R - COO It's me B3AK3R! You know me as that one guy, the GridMaster for the Power Daddies, you know the one! I've been dabbling in TTRPGs for the better part of a decade now but since joining the Misfits... it's gotten worse. (Just ask Michelle!) I've always had a fascination with all things Sci-Fi and Fantasy but once I got a taste of D&D, I was hooked and began searching for whatever else was out there to play. I'm always up for trying out a new system or learning some new lore. Here at the Misfits, I tend to wear a lot of hats. I'm the resident cat herder for the team. I host my own show on the channel, B3AK3R Builds, where I am either at my desk building Gundams, painting minis, or playing games, you know, whatever tickles my fancy at the moment. When I'm not there, I am the GridMaster for Power Daddies: Guardians of the Grid, our Power Rangers TTRPG, co-hosting on Tavern Talks or playing games somewhere. I've a few more ideas in the pipeline but that's to discuss later...
Michelle - Social Media NerdMomHerself...
DungeonSamster - Storyteller...
Alex - Producer/Editor, Graphic Designer I’m Alex – I enjoy short walks on the beach, cheese and chugging tea. I started running D&D during the bad times (the spring of 2020) and have been hooked ever since, with my games usually involving some element of investigational intrigue - as I grew up on the Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie mystery series. I’ve been playing video games for most of my life – I’m a Pokémon and Destiny 2 addict - with the X-Men and The Lord of the Rings films giving me the sci-fi and fantasy bugs respectively. Within Tabletop Misfits I am a show producer, show/clip editor and graphic designer. I am the GM for Candela Obscura: Hearts & Minds and I play Dr Tamsin Newman in Night of the Wyrm: A World of Darkness Story. I also appear as a guest GM/Player in various one-shots/streams (I get around so to speak).
Jakob - Hey you, yeah you! I’m Jakob! I’m the craziest misfit. No, I just pretend to be me. I’m always working on a story or project to be ready for all sorts of games. I’m enjoy learning just about everything. My wheelhouse of topics go from anything sci-fi and fantasy to the non-fiction and history section of the library. I enjoy arts, foods, and board games. I always enjoy a good recommendation for virtually anything. I’ve been playing or running TTRPG’s for over 25 years now. Conversation to always be had with this one. Within our party at the Tabletop Misfits, I handle some of a bit of everything. I’m high spirited so you may talk to me if you can find me anywhere. I consider myself a “Jack of All Trades” and a “Renaissance man.” You may find me in multiple places with ink on my hands and a song in my heart. Come find me on our Tavern Talk episodes and many other one-shots or tales our party weaves. I guarantee there is always more being written down.
