PRESENTER BIOGRAPHY
"Hi! My name is Liz and I've been playing TTRPGs for almost 10 years, running games for almost 7. I have played and run games in many different systems. Some of my favorites include Cypher, D&D, Monster of the Week, and Zweihander, among many others. In my long running campaign, I play a Druid of the Land who wears a dragon mantle and sometimes talks to one. I believe in safe tables where fun is prioritized and players co-write sessions in collaboration with their GM. Do the unexpected thing and try something new! Fate of the world is in your hands!"
