Kevin and Kay
Kevin and Kay are a husband-and-wife GM team who love bringing new adventurers to the table. Kevin has over 20 years of GM experience across multiple systems, while Kay has played Pathfinder since 2011 and co-GMed alongside him since 2016. When their own children discovered the joy of role-playing games, they began running children’s convention games together in 2023. Their tables are welcoming, lighthearted, and adaptable, where creative solutions are encouraged, young players are supported, and a little unexpected chaos is always part of the adventure.
