Have you ever wanted to share a hilarious story from your D&D campaign, but by the time you explain role playing, dice rolling, and game play it's lost all of it's magic? Well I'm here to put the magic back into your story! I take listener stories and rewrite them as a fairytale. There's no dice rolling or player discussion, just your characters and their shenanigans. I embellish a little, add sound effects, music, and a few voices now and then. And suddenly it's a story everyone can understand and enjoy! Because who doesn't love a good story about heroes on a quest? Especially when the heroes make terrible judgement calls.
