Gareth Sick, Guild Master, He/Him
Gareth has been playing D&D for the last two years, and began DMing last year with the Carmine Collective. He started as a new player, unsure of the rules, but spent a lot of time learning and immersing himself in this new world he had found. He was curious to try DMing at the end of last year, and quickly fell in love not with the storytelling and acting involved. He worked hard to bring the community they were growing back up when we had some stumbles, and invested in its development. Because of that, when need arose, he was happy to become the latest member to join the ranks of Guild Master. He hopes to continue fostering an inclusive space, where everyone can feel like a hero, no matter what walk of life you came to the guild from. This community helped him feel whole and accepted, and he wants others to feel the same.
