Our players

Jonathan Jacomb

Jonathan’s favourite board games are Spartacus and LOTR: Journeys in middle earth, but will play anything to avoid trying to paint his ever-growingly grey Warhammer 40k collection, particularly now he’s got a 3D printer…

He likes playing a berserker (or a tank if there’s nothing suitably smashy available)

James Day (he/him)

James is a supporting actor, story teller and improviser who doesn’t listen to instructions very well, hence this description was written by Jonathan.

James is a master of chaos and likes co-operative games where he can cause the most disruption, although he does particularly enjoy Kings of New York

Emily Phillips (she/her)

Emily enjoys fitness, horror films, a good cup of coffee and gochujang noodles.

Her favourite board game is scrabble and likes playing as a bard or wizard the most

Andy Shore (he/him)

Andy is an actor improviser, who loves discovering new stories, and playing with genre and form.

Raised on a diet of comedy, Conan and Fighting Fantasy books Andy likes nothing more than slaying his (fictional) foes.

Matthew Willis (he/him)

Matthew is an Improviser and Actor, with a love of table top gaming and RPGs.

It’s his life long ambition to become a magical goblin – looks like he’s halfway there!
