An early adherent of Magic: The Gathering, and collector of many a comic book and fantasy tome in his youth, Hadley actually came to tabletop role playing games later than most. At 28, he was lured by a group of Seattle’s night-dwelling denizens into a crowded, subterranean apartment to roll dice, enjoy one another’s company, and weave a narrative from their collective imaginations. 

Ten (or so) years on, and Hadley has officially taken up the mantle of Dungeon Master, and the handle of DMingHadley (for social media purposes). Adapting 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons and 2d6 game formats to allow for unfettered adventures, the settings of Hadley’s games can range from traditional fantasy, to space odyssey, to pop culture endeavors.

​

Deeply moved by the concept of collaborative storytelling, mindful escapism, as well as the social and cognitive benefits of such endeavors, he specializes in drawing from the ether whole worlds for your characters to dive into, without limits to setting or tone.

​

Through one-off games and campaign series alike, players can dive into unique worlds, fueling their imaginations with possibilities beyond the canon and lore of established game systems. 

With a penchant for making tabletop gaming accessible to everyone, Hadley has distilled a potent format of game play that serves as both a delightful respite from the challenges of our day to day lives, and a methodology for creative storytelling for people of all walks of life,

and literally all around the globe.

Understanding that we all learn best by playing in a space where it’s safe to take risks, Hadley helps players perceive these fantasy (and other genre) worlds by engaging them to create alongside him. 

After all, it’s collaborative storytelling. We all get to contribute.
