Bio

Hunter Fell

"Hunter has been a “forever GM” since high school, and he wouldn’t have it any other way! What started out as a game played with friends on the weekends, evolved into his career in 2018, when he started running TTRPGs professionally. With his background in improv, theater, and voice acting, he focuses on creating immersive, character-driven experiences for his tables, and his homebrew world has hosted over 500 different players. Beyond running games, Hunter also had the chance to share his love of the hobby by hosting various panels at conventions, performing at events, and both running and playing in Actual Plays. As one of the first 5 GMs on StartPlaying, Hunter ran games full time before officially joining their team."
