## Bios

Aaron Chleborad started playing D&D since 2015 and has loved it ever since. He has sat on both sides of the table and has DM’d for a majority of the cast. At the moment, he is pursuing a degree in business management at Wayne State College. You can almost always find him either asleep, playing volleyball, or planning the next session of his current campaign. He is also the author of the Explorer’s Pack found on the blog page.

Lydia Koryn (she/her) loves anything and everything fantasy. She has a passion for storytelling through writing, theatre, and film, which she is currently pursuing along with her dream of becoming an elven princess. Lydia runs her own online store (www.lydiakoryn.com), as well as an Etsy shop (LydiaKoryn), where she sells D&D related items and has fun making content on multiple social media platforms. You can find more of her on YouTube (Lydia Koryn), Instagram, and TikTok (@lydiakoryn).

Drew McKellips is a video game and dnd nerd along with being a musician. He is currently attending his local college, studying audio engineering. He has been playing dnd since 2016 as a player and DM-ing for a year. Whether playing games on his computer or at the table, he enjoys playing with friends and loves the story telling of dnd and music. He is also the co-producer of "The Paper Dungeon Theme Song".

Hannah Schooner is currently getting her BFA in Musical Theatre. She's been playing D&D since she was in middle school. She began making Tik Toks (@Schooner\_or\_l8er) in 2020, which led her to begin writing and streaming one shots for her followers on Twitch. She also makes D&D/DM tips and tutorials on her youtube channel, Schooner\_or\_l8er! In her free time, she likes to make dice, embroider, sew, write, and make Tik Toks!

Ryhan Ureta is an avid outdoorsman, story teller, and gamer. When not in the outdoors he can be found on his computer or reading a book. He holds a love for cooking and all things food. D&D is an outlet for him to tell a story with his friends, a means to build a world and set off on an adventure. He believes that both in D&D and in life, imagination is paramount, as Pablo Picasso once said, "Everything you can imagine is real."

Grant DeFor is currently traveling the world, documenting the things he learns along the way on YouTube. He did one year of college at Ozark Christian College in Missouri majoring in intercultural studies, but dropped out early to do mission work overseas. He is currently with the organization Team Expansion(?) in Kentucky, studying and doing mission work.

DJ McKellips loves to find adventures in whaterver he does. Whether by rock climbing, skiing, or through D&D he is always in search of the next adventure. He is currently working for Vertical View Climbing Gym and is one of the Co-owners of The Paper Dungeon. You can follow him on twitter (@djmckellips) or instagram (Dj\_mckellips).

## History

Most, but not all, of the main cast of Campaign One knew each other prior to the stream. Aaron, Drew, DJ, Grant, and Ryhan went to high school together in Northeast Nebraska. The idea to start a D&D Twitch stream came from the desire to stay friends as they spread throughout the United States after high school. As they were brainstorming, they knew that it would be a critical move to bring in a few talented non-men performers to help balance out the dynamic of the stream. They were beyond lucky to find both Lydia and Hannah through D&D TikTok, where both Lydia and Hannah had amassed a considerable following based on their funny, creative, and brilliant acting and D&D content.
