Our Local Game Masters
Gabrielle Bennett
A passionate writer, researcher, and certified nerd, Gabrielle is the Campaign Master of Natural 20 Tours.
She first became obsessed with all things D&D and TTRPGs in 2020 (along with so many of us) while writing her dissertation on elements of fictional storytelling – lots on The Witcher – and hasn’t stopped learning since.
Then, one day, after lamenting that the bottomless pit of her love of D&D and storytelling was still not filled, she and her partner started this company and found some incredible people to make games with!
Campaign Master & Founder of Natural 20 Tours

As DM for Hearthfire Tales, Dylan blends big overarching plot lines with deeply personal stakes, seeking to creatively use game mechanics to aid the narrative of whatever game he's playing. His mantra is: "Rules control the fun, but the rule of cool is the most powerful of all!"
You can catch him as part of Hearthfire Media, running D&D live shows and events around Ireland, and producing Actual Plays of all formats!

When he's not at the gaming table, Jim works with Cubicle 7 Games and creates TTRPG and LARP content for Hearthfire Media, helping to grow and celebrate the hobby he loves. As both a seasoned player and experienced DM, he believes the best games are collaborative stories where everyone gets a chance to shine.
At Jim's table, expect fast-paced action, engaging roleplay, dramatic twists, unexpected comedy, and the occasional moment of absolute chaos. Whether you're a veteran adventurer or picking up your first set of dice, he'll tailor the experience to the players in front of him and make sure everyone leaves with a story worth telling.

Dread – aka, Caitlin McCabe
She’s the Dreaded DM, also known as Dread, also known as Caitlin. She’ll answer to any title, especially if it's flattering! She’s an Irish-Caribbean TTRPG performer and GM.
Presently based in Dublin, Ireland, she started playing Dungeons and Dragons 5e during the COVID pandemic. Finding her first game on Roll20, she very quickly became enamoured with the hobby but knew that being a player wasn’t enough. In late 2020, I started DMing her first campaign with her family and I haven’t looked back.
In the years since, she’s run games for conventions and events across Ireland and online for audiences the world over. She’s had adventures beyond imagination and made some incredible friends along the way… Just from rolling some math rocks.
