Come tell stories with us…
Do you enjoy describing interesting and varied events to friends? Are you interested in engaging people in a rich world of creatures and characters? We’re looking for people to join our ST team, so maybe you might want to come do that with us!
To give you a little peek into who you’d be working with, we talked to our Storytelling Directors and pulled a few little details together.
Ed and Heather began telling stories together as players at DR:TX and were both part of the ST team there. Ed and Heather began working on DR:NM together sometime between September and October 2022, even though the first game of the chapter wasn’t until February 2023.
Ed Sampson (he/him) is a former ocean-dweller turned mountain man, a writer, and a dedicated couch napper. Most days you’ll catch him at the computer or in the kitchen, 6750 feet up in the mountains of New Mexico. His first tabletop RPG was in 2002, first larp in 2018, and first book was this year, 2023. He loves telling stories, either around a table with some dice, or out in the woods with weird friends. Telling of good stories, and watching people get involved and invested in them is his happy place.
Heather Boemler (they/them & she/her) is a secondary educator by choice and is able to teach any PK-12 core subjects (plus art). She happily lives in Central Texas and is passionate about nerdy and geeky things. Her first tabletop RPG was in 1995, first LARP in 2010, first college degree in 2011, and a Master’s degree in 2013. They began their DR adventure in 2016 as a player and put in extra work during the shut-down as huge set pieces and creatures in the virtual world TX wanted to build. They are especially interested in creatures, movies, music, video games, art, and immersive worlds.
Ed and Heather want to build something creepy and wild and wonderful with you, if you’re interested. The following list is what we are looking for in a potential storyteller:
You must be prepared to meet via Discord at 6 pm MST on Thursday for up to 60 minutes each week.
You must radically trust and assume the best in your fellow storyteller team.
You must be prepared to write and run your own content according to a settings document.
You must be willing to work collaboratively and professionally with your fellow storyteller team.
You must be willing to develop specialized training modules for new players and facilitate the Sunday morning shift on a rotating schedule where applicable.
You may run hybrid content for in-person and online play as assigned.
Your ticket will be complimentary and you will receive full experience points.
