AUCKLAND - ONLINE

Hello, fellow adventurer! I'm Xiggy, a marine biologist and scientific explorer in the day-to-day, and an avid storyteller the rest of the time. I use they/them pronouns. I've been playing and running TTRPGs in some form or another for over half of my life, in both private and public settings.

I hail from Glasgow, Scotland, where I began the Barmaids Guild, a TTRPG group focused on running games for women, trans folks, and anyone else who has experienced barriers to tapletop roleplaying due to their gender. It's now being run and cared for by several good friends of mine as I have crossed the world to come and study octopuses in Auckland.

As a professional GM, I've run for the aforementioned Barmaids' Guild, various Local Game Stores, and conventions such as UK Games Expo and Sci-Fi World Con. I like to run games in worlds unlike our own, to explore new concepts and ideas, and of course to have lots of fun!

GAMES

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition - You probably know this one, right?

Mausritter - Take up the sword and don the whiskers of a brave mouse adventurer in Mausritter, the rules-light fantasy adventure roleplaying game. It’s a huge and dangerous world out there, and it does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice.

Kids on Bikes - Ever seen a Spielberg film and wanted to be a part of that? Wanted to discover lost pirate treasure with the Goonies? Or help E.T. phone home? Maybe you just really love Stranger Things? In any case, Kids on Bikes will make all your retro dreams come true!

Kids on Brooms - Okay, so school sucked, but what if it was MAGICAL school? Homework would probably still be rough, but you can supplement that with crazy supernatural adventures! So, overall worth it?

Vaesen - In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen. Welcome to the Mythic North – northern Europe of the nineteenth century, but not as we know it today. A land where the myths are real. A cold reach covered by vast forests, its few cities lonely beacons of industry and enlightenment – a new civilization dawning. But in the countryside, the old ways still hold sway. There, people know what lurks in the dark. They know to fear it.
