Fyrn Gibbs

Co-host to The Dice and Decisions Podcast. Started playing D&D when they were 14 with their family. While they enjoyed the process of character building and moving through the story with an adventuring party, they felt that there was always something missing. After two campaigns, they decided to try being a dungeon master for a oneshot with family and friends. Through running the campaign, they found the part of D&D they love the most. Being able to create a world from scratch and present it to their friends for them to explore is Fyrns truest gift to them.
