She/Her

Chris, the owner of Nomadic Ravens and the official den mother of the dungeon masters, has been playing tabletop games for over thirty years. Her favorite TTRPG is Dungeons & Dragons and her favorite campaign to run is Curse of Strahd (because of her love for vampires and all things gothic). She plays by the rule of cool because she feels if a player has a harebrained idea that could add to the story, then “let the good times roll”! Chris has been overseeing the Nomadic Ravens team since 2020 and is always excited to welcome new players to “the family”. In her spare time, Chris enjoys spending time with her husband, children, cats, dog and extended Nomadic Ravens family. She loves to travel, read, watch scary movies, paint, hunt for antiques (in her former life she was an archeologist), and play board and card games. Some of her favorite movies are Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Fifth Element, Big Trouble in Little China, Legend, The Lost Boys (anything with vampires really) and a slew of 80s films that definitely influence her dungeon mastering style. Some of her favorite television shows are Supernatural, The Witcher, Castlevania, Fallout and Game of Thrones. Her favorite author is Stephen King and adores The Dark Tower series.

My name is Dillon, and I am one of the proud members of the Nomadic Ravens team of Dungeon Masters!  My love for all things nerdy started around when I was first introduced to anime when I was a kid. Hours were spent playing around in my backyard looking for the coolest stick to be my Excalibur.

It wasn’t until college that I decided to dive into Tabletop Role Playing. The first time I was exposed to a session of D&D was rather difficult, I was shy and didn’t understand the mechanics as well as the others. It was not a good first time. Yet I was hooked on the concept of collaborative storytelling, so I decided to make my own campaign. Humble beginnings of my first home brew world had some highs and lows but each session provided me with more passion, dedication, and knowledge.

Some of my favorite sources of inspirations for my games are Berserk, Chainsaw Man, Delicious in Dungeon, Warhammer, Bloodborne, Dragon Age Origins, Cyberpunk 2077, IT, Lovecraftian stories, and the Witcher series.

At my table, I prioritize engaging story telling where the players and I work together to craft an unforgettable journey filled with laughs, cheers, and tension. At my table, I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all players feel comfortable exploring their characters. I look forward to seeing you all at the table!

My introduction to D&D was through Adventure Zone "Balance" and since then I've listened to thousands of hours of various actual play podcasts. From Adventure Zone to Critical Roll, Bombarded to NaddPod, and Friends at the Table, I have developed a love and fascination with TTRPGS at large. This carries into my goals for every campaign and one shot I run.

To be a fan of the players and their characters, make the worlds interesting and engaging, and to play to find out what happens.

I have run Dungeons and Dragons the most, but have really enjoyed other games such as Blades in the Dark, The Quiet Year, Dialect, and Beak, Feather, Bone.

My favorite part of tabletop games is the creative communal story telling that comes from it.

Other than TTRPGS I enjoy anime, novels, TV shows, and crafting various things out of wood. As a carpenter by trade, I've began taking those skills and implementing them into art pieces and gaming accessories.

I'm always looking forward to new faces at my tables, be they veterans or someone who's never rolled a dice in their life. The stories that come from playing are the most important part for me. I'm excited to see what stories we can tell together

I was introduced to D&D back in the early 80s and the legendary Red Box. Fast forward to high school in the 90s and running massive campaigns. College life paved the way for a brief journey in MtG but I got better… Over the past decade I've launched several homebrew campaigns, both adult themed and kid friendly. I’m currently running 3 campaigns and co-running a 4th. Outside of D&D I find time for roller hockey, golf, hiking with my German Shepherds and getting lost in Skyrim. I try to pick up a book by Stephen King from time to time (you’ve been warned…) or watching shows like The Witcher, Stranger Things or Farscape. Some of my best moments come from the unlikeliest of sources and my favorite is everyone’s favorite German Industrial Metal band, Rammstein. And if any of you were wondering what my Hogwart’s school is… None - I’m a proud member of Durmstrang. Veteran players and rookies are welcome at my tables. Be ready for fantastical worlds, terrifying encounters and deadly, fast paced fights. I may take you through a dungeon crawl with traps and riddles, to a Hotel that looks and feels like the Overlook (from The Shining) or in a city full of wizards and airships. Fair warning - Don’t give the Dungeon Master any ideas… Pay attention though or you may be rolling death saves and new characters. And a last word to the wise… Always bribe your DM.

Hi! I’m Riley, the youngest Dungeon Master in the Nomadic Ravens team.

I was first introduced to Dungeons and Dragons through my father, who ran a third edition game with me when I was a kid. He showed us the Dungeons and Dragons TV show on VHS, and all things nerdy that came out before I was born. It wasn’t until March of 2020 until I started playing more seriously. This was when Nomadic Ravens was still called The Ravens Nest. I’ve been showing up ever since. Whether it’s to be a player, play Magic the Gathering, play some Root, or run games.

I love playing indie games like Hollow Knight, Death's Door, and Cult of the Lamb, and incorporating aspects of the stories I play through and read into my games.

My love for the story of Dungeons and Dragons has led me to explore other TTRPG’s such as Kids on Bikes and the Root TTRPG which I look forward to playing and creating stories with you all once I return from tech school.

Hi I'm Chaz! Pastry chef by day, I fill the streets of Gotham (Connecticut) with the tastiest treats around... DM by night, I explore dungeons, ruins, temples and fight monsters ! I've loved tabletop games ever since I was a kid, my all time favorite game is Clue. I didn't get into playing D&D until I was 20! From my very first game, I was addicted, I adore how creative it is! I think the best part about D&D is the exploration and improvisation that comes with playing different characters, it keeps my imagination sharp and the creativity flowing:) I love meeting new friends and new players, at my table everyone is welcome!

Whether there is an apologetic pizza party to throw or a zinger to say, Vinh from Human Resources has your back, brother. He may not be a dungeon master, but he is a integral part of Nomadic Ravens and therefore is here for you!
