About the Author

👋 My name is Kirk. I've been playing D&D since 2010. Since then, I've run close to 1000 games and put in well over 10,000 hours into this hobby. I've run everything from one-shot adventures to multiple years-long campaigns spanning all levels of 4E and 5E D&D.

In 2011, Chris Perkins chose my dungeon design as a finalist for his "Acererak's Apprentice" contest on the Dungeon Master Experience blog. That introduced me to some other creators and led me to YouTube, where I ran a D&D channel for the next five years (before it was cool 😉). I'm particularly passionate about the intersection of our hobby and technology—both the good and the bad. I write a lot about building campaign worlds and the tools to help us organize them.

I don't use generative AI for creative work.
