Dragon Talk - An Official Dungeons & Dragons Podcast

Jas (Jazz) Brown is a twenty-something author and TTRPG performer. When they're not pretending to be another person, they enjoy singing, acting, writing, drawing, and everything creative! They’ve been playing dnd for a little over four years and even live tweet their home games under the Twitter tag #dndadventures. They're known for playing maternal and protective characters, but boast a wide variety of archetypes and accents they can pull out at the drop of a hat. Though they're always down for a laugh and have no issues breaking tension with a joke (or a silent, exaggerated reaction or two), they take roleplaying seriously and always work to make sure everyone is included and having fun. They use their writing prowess to perfect their PCs' character arcs and prefer long form campaigns to one shots or limited series.
