Meet your DM
Amelia
Amelia Burkley is an aspiring writer and has been running campaigns and one shots for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition for three years. She first got into D&D in high school, her first ever character a half elf rogue, and she’s so excited to share this amazing game with the Outer Banks! When she’s not bartending or playing D&D, Amelia loves to read, sing, play guitar, and perform in theater. She graduated from Christopher Newport University in 2021 with her degree in Musical Theater, and Dungeons and Dragons to her is an extension of performative storytelling. Bringing stories to life is her passion, and she is thrilled to have this opportunity to meet new friends, slay some dragons, and make some storytelling magic at Kraken’s Keep!
Amelia has retired from the Keep as DM.
Rebekah's journey in tabletop roleplaying games started with Fate in high school. Since then, she's played everything from Dungeons and Dragons to Vampire: The Masquerade to Apocalypse World. After starting as a professional Dungeon Master at Gamers-Corps in Ellicott City, MD, she moved to the Outer Banks in 2021. She loves indie and more obscure tabletop games, and is always eager to teach them to others! You can expect personal, emotional stories and off-beat games with both political and horror elements. Ask her what her favorite TTRPG is - it changes from week to week!

Dudley
Dudley has been a tabletop RPG player for 26 years and has been running games for nearly the same amount of time. As an amphitheater styled Dungeon Master, he enjoys miming and voicing accents for greater effect. His game running experience spans from amateur sessions for fun to professionally run sessions for local stores and GalaxyCon. He strives to bring accessibility to the game for beginners all the way to experienced players.
Belle
Belle is one of our newer DMs, having mostly played and run games for friends-- but they're beyond excited to bring their spooky vibes to the shop.
When they're not behind the DM screen, you might spot them hanging around the shop or performing on stage with the local theater.
Their hobbies include cooking, writing, cosplay, and music.
Belle welcomes players of all ages and experience levels at their table; everyone is invited to join the fun!
Chandler
Chandler is our shop cryptid that appeared one day and has just been here ever since. He lurks around the shelves and we haven't found a way to get him to leave.
Luckily he likes D&D and buys a bunch of snacks so we just leave him be.
He asserted himself as a new DM dressed in clown makeup and we were scared to tell him no.
He has a lot of ideas for twists and stories so whatever he brings to the table, it is sure to be a breath of fresh air.
