About Me
My name is Peter McMahon, a Game Mastter and aspiring writer of
over 8 years and counting. With a passion for storytelling and a
love of all things lore and world-building I have embarked on a
quest to bring the art of interactive storytelling to life
through the famous Dungeons & Dragons 5e system (and more
systems to come). There is nothing I like more than plunging
players into a plane of palpable intrigue and weaving a tale of
thrilling exploits for others to sink their imaginations into,
so I hope you and your friends will take a journey with me and
become masters of your own epic adventure!
When I was a child, my mum and dad would engage my brother and me with stories, my favourite of which being the Tales of Redwall Abbey by Brian Jacques. During these pre-bedtime sessions my mum would put on the voices of the various characters from the stories she read and she would insist we look up words in the dictionary when she read one to us that we didn't understand. My dad would use his talents for the spoken word to weave improvised tales of a dragon named Grogadil and his adventures throughout the lands. This hand-on storytelling from my parents nurtured in me a true passion for the power and intrigue of storytelling and the plethora of possibilities of theme to be explored in this way.
My passion has led me to strive to bring the joys of storytelling to as many people as possible and D&D is just one of the best ways to do this while allowing people to take part within the story as well. I believe storytelling is a pure artform and a fantastic study of the world around us so I urge you to join me for an unforgettable, entirely imaginable adventure of the mind.

The Importance of Storytelling
Throughout the centuries, mankind has used storytelling to
warn of the world around us. Even the Greeks would use stories
of the jealousness and unpredictability of the gods to caution
against the struggle between humans and the universe as
depicted in stories such as Icarus and Sisyphus. Storytelling
has long been the basis of many cultural traditions and
education tools, these days we see storytelling mostly in
movies and books but, at the end of the day, even these
mediums invoke a sense of detachment to characters and their
actions as opposed to interactive storytelling.
Dungeons and Dragons is one of the most useful and immersive storytelling tools as it allows a group of individuals to be a part of the storytelling process in giving life to their characters choices, therefore allowing participants to become an integral part of, and influencer in the story. I believe storytelling can provoke meaningful conversations about life, the universe and morality, which makes and without these discussions the uniqueness of humankind would suffer the full force of loneliness and paranoia of the world in which we live.
