I'm a SoCal-based writer and editor in my early 40s who thinks D&D is the best thing humans have ever invented. I like a good mix of character/story-based and RP-heavy play, social and skill-based problem solving, silliness, and monster-stabbing. As a lady gamer, I also appreciate egalitarian adventures where women NPCs rank among the story's badasses, leaders, and scoundrels, and not just its damsels and sweethearts.
