Dan's Favorite GameChris L. - Tinkerer
Emerging from the mists of the unknown realms with a bottomless satchel of gadgets and tools, Chris and his trusty mechanical dragon Fixit joined our party as a Tinkerer and resident wizard of pinball. A modern-day Renaissance soul with an insatiable curiosity, Chris uses his imagination, toolbox, and tinkering spirit to tackle every mystery and problem set before him. He thrives on challenges, and relishes the process of turning ideas into tangible wonders. As our head technician, he keeps the many machines of Glimmerhold whirring and glowing with the promise of excitement and revelry.
In his spare time Chris enjoys a multitude of activities: stargazing, fixing pinball machines and arcade games, repairing jukeboxes, enjoying music, reading, writing, playing games, home improvement projects, coaching sports... the list goes on. Chris is always on the move, seeking to learn something new and add skills to his collection. Don't be surprised if you find him: toolbox in hand, with a roguish grin, and Fixit zipping around his head as he looks for the next thing to take apart and tinker with on his journey.
Chris L's Favorite GameBecca - Assassin
Becca is one of our classic overachievers. When she isn’t cooking for the office or friends, being an amazing dog mom, or teaching dance classes, she is using her “spare time” to complete her MBA. She is always quick to show her enthusiasm for the small things in life... and musical theatre.
When she is not assisting our fearless leader and the organization, she is often found playing board games and video games with her coworkers, and killing people with kindness.
Becca's Favorite GameTim - Wizard
Tim is a wise sage who spent many years formally mastering the music of the spheres and the hidden mathematics of the known universe.
He joined the Tabletop Tycoon Adventuring Party in 2010 and brings to bear his particular set of skills to each challenge, continually crafting and implementing optimal solutions. He is deliberate and considered, always thinking through the long-term implications of decisions.
Tim's hobbies include tabletop RPGs, WarmaHordes, board games, video games, spending time with his family, and optimizing rules for new games to the breaking point.
Tim's Favorite GameSean - Rocketeer
Curator and guardian of the Tabletop Tycoon warehouse, this high-flying hero coordinates a group of adventures to ensure our games get to your table.
A steadfast family man, he enjoys spending time with his wife and son. Whether they are hiking along the trails of New England or gathering around with a bowl of popcorn to watch movie classics.
While he might not be the best Super Smash Bros fighter, his kindness and enthusiasm make him one of the best people to play games with. It should be noted, it is unverified if he has never fought a bear.
Sean's Favorite GameChris - Pirate
A seasoned buccaneer who is highly skilled in handling the logistics of the high seas, Captain Chris ensures that all the Tycoon’s bounty safely and promptly reaches far away lands.

Chris's Favorite GameJenn - Activist
After spending years in front of the camera telling the world news of the day, Jenn decided to get “behind the camera” to join us and continue storytelling and helping others.
When she isn't traveling the world to remote villages in Colombia and Rwanda as a volunteer, or a mom to her daughters and doggo, she is here helping us make the world better one game at a time.
When she isn't assisting all of her teammates with different projects, she helps keep us all afloat with all things administrative.
Jenn's Favorite GameDawson - Bounty Hunter
A lifelong resident of New Hampshire, Dawson values the communities he engages with and enjoys learning about the world from new perspectives. Having been a performing artist for most of his life, Dawson loves local live performances and consuming all forms of entertainment media. He studied under local monks to better appreciate arts on an academic level and learn the ways of nonverbal communication.
For Dawson, playing games is a fundamental part of life. He enjoys playing both tabletop and video games and appreciates game design, aesthetics, and how communities form around different games. Dawson is a tactical player but enjoys being challenged by clever strategies, careful deception, and straightforward unbiased luck.
Dawson's Favorite GameTristan - Space Biologist
Tristan joined the Tycoon's crew after a lifetime of hopping space ports. Part scientist, part artist, melding function and aesthetic is his specialty. Better than any AI artist! He knows just how to take the crew's harebrained ideas and create something beautiful.

Tristan's Favorite GameCraig - Mage
Born and raised in the forests of NH, Craig strived for adventure and found himself on a life-long quest for knowledge. This led him to the valleys of Connecticut where he perfected his control over numbers. Now, Craig is our accounting wizard extraordinaire! Always equipped with a magical resolution to our bookkeeping needs, Craig is an excellent problem-finder and problem-solver, a rare combination using the most ancient of magics.
When AFK, you'll find Craig LARPing, playing board games and enjoying science fiction media in all forms. But most of all, Craig's favorite thing is being a dad, and telling dad jokes, of course.
Chris W. - Bard
Hailing from the lands of Massachusetts, Chris has taken up the mantle of leading Tycoon Arcade, our old-school arcade and retail store. Wielding sharp wit and a guitar, he is always ready to share his melodious music as the Glimmerhold Bard, producing an environment of warmth and joy for all.

Chris W.'s Favorite GameNorah - Dealer
As the dealer, Norah ensures all guests to Tabletop Tycoon are provided with a professional gaming experience. She helps set the table for an unforgettable night by stacking the deck with a roster of fun games for all players to enjoy.

Risk and danger have followed her throughout life, and from her experience, if you play the cards, you’ll pay the price. She’s a lover and a fighter and one gambler you don’t want to face from across the card table. And in her words, she’s both a real queen of hearts and a joker.
Norah's Favorite GameBilly -Caveman
Billy comes to us from a land that isn’t far away… He’s the only Ducati driving caveman that
we’ve ever seen! He also likes to play some pinball and take some serious naps (when he’s not
working here at the Tycoon Arcade!) He also likes to use his club to play Golden Tee instead of the actual golf clubs.

Brian enjoys going for hikes, playing video games, snowboarding, going on camping trips, going out on the boat and fishing, playing card games, going to the beach among a lot of other things. He enjoys playing pinball and competes in the New England Pinball League every season. He was born in Manchester NH and mostly grew up in Bow NH.
