About Me
Aspiring Storyteller:
My name is Peter McMahon, a Game Master 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!Childhood Inspiration:
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 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 hands-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.
Sharing My Skills
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

Cautionary Tales:
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.
A Better Way To Tell A Story
Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) are one of the most useful and immersive storytelling tools there has ever been. They allow a group of individuals to be a part of the storytelling process by 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, philosophy, spirituality and morality, and without these discussions the uniqueness of humankind would suffer the full force of the true loneliness and paranoia of existence.
