Wedding Party
Jake Bluhm
Keeper of the Vows
Every campaign needs a reliable party member, and ours just happens to be Dan’s childhood best friend. After years of friendship, questionable decisions, inside jokes, and probably enabling at least some chaos, he has officially been entrusted with the incredibly important task of legally binding us together.
Sara Bluhm
The Wedding Oracle
Sara is one of those genuinely kind people who somehow manages to be thoughtful, supportive, and calming while surrounded by complete wedding chaos. A good friend, a wonderful human, and an honorary member of the emotional support party, she’s been there with suggestions, encouragement, and good energy every step of the way.
Daniel Briscoe
Master of Ceremonies & Chaos
Dan Briscoe has been one of Dan's close friends for over 15 years, which means he’s survived countless games, conventions, ridiculous conversations, and more nerd debates than any normal person should. He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and also an absolute super nerd in the best possible way. Between his love of gaming, storytelling, and organized chaos, there was honestly nobody better suited to be our Wedding Dungeon Master.
Kim Hosmer
Mistress of Revels
Kim has been one of the calmest and kindest lights throughout this entire whirlwind of wedding planning chaos. Somewhere between the stress spirals, and my (Eeka) general goblin energy, she’s always managed to bring me back down to earth with reassurance, laughter, and good vibes. She’s fun, thoughtful, and exactly the kind of person every adventuring party hopes to have nearby when the quest starts getting a little overwhelming.
Tanya Thorpe
Artificer of Chaos & Flowers
Tanya is the definition of a ride-or-die friend and has been part of Dan’s life since childhood, which means she’s had years of experience dealing with our collective chaos. She’s creative, supportive, hilarious, and somehow always willing to jump in and help bring my ridiculous wedding ideas to life, including to volunteer to build an entire army of LEGO flowers for this wedding like the absolute legend she is. Tanya: loyal, dependable, and capable of turning stress into laughter while crafting something magical at the same time.
Joel Coye
Cleric of Restored Hit Points
Joel is one of our closest friends and absolutely has a permanent chair at our table. Between weekly hangs, shared side quests, good food, beers, and laughter, he’s become one of those people we can always count on no matter what. Through all of our Nat 20s and crit fails, Joel has consistently shown up with support, good energy, and probably snacks. As an EMS worker, taking care of people is just part of who he is. Every adventuring party needs someone dependable enough to help keep everyone alive, grounded, and laughing at the same time, and for us, that’s Joel.
Lindsay Swartz
Mistress of Music & Mischief
Lindsay and Dan’s friendship traces all the way back to the ancient realms of AlbanyAlive, which, coincidentally, is also where she met her husband… another member of the ever-growing Council of Dans. Over the decades, Lindsay has witnessed more chaos, shenanigans, questionable ideas, and legendary stories than most mortals could survive, including plenty of Dan’s own mischief long before this wedding campaign ever began. Through it all, she has remained a steadfast friend who brings warmth, laughter, curiosity, and genuinely good energy into every room she enters. Now, as our resident Bard of the Beats, Lindsay will be summoning the soundtrack to our celebration and making sure the dance floor remains fully enchanted all night long.
Dan Swartz
Maestro of Musical Puns
Daniel has been one of Dan's oldest companions, dating all the way back to the ancient battlefields of Legend of the Five Rings. Dan taught him the noble ways of the Lion Clan, and together we learned one important truth: Lions Attack! Over the years they've survived countless gaming marathons, late-night tavern adventures, and even a year as roommates. Through every critical success, spectacular failure, and completely unnecessary side quest, Daniel has somehow managed to put up with my particular brand of chaos. Armed with endless puns, obscure music trivia, and enough piano talent to qualify as magic, Daniel is a true bard. As a gifted composer and musician, he brings creativity, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief wherever he goes. Most importantly, he's been a loyal friend through it all. He welcomed Eeka into the fellowship without hesitation, and I'm grateful that both of us get to continue this adventure with him!
Christine Carter
Mistress of Erudition
We’ve only known Christine for a few years and she very quickly became one of those people who feels like she’s always been part of the party. With her love of travel, supportive spirit, and endless stream of great ideas, she somehow always brings fresh energy and inspiration wherever she goes. Christine has been wonderfully supportive throughout our wedding planning adventure, offering thoughtful suggestions and encouragement that makes the whole quest feel even more magical. Every adventuring party needs someone with good instincts, positive energy, and just a little bit of spontaneous magic. Cheers to Christine!
Jermaine Carter
Master of Coffee & Camaraderie
Some companions join your party at the beginning of the campaign, and some show up exactly when they're needed. Jermaine and Dan spent years traveling through the same social circles before finally meeting after the Great Pandemic Expansion Pack - the DLC no one asked for... Since then, he's become a true friend to both Eeka and Dan. Whether he's bringing legendary BBQ, a good cigar, or a much-needed cup of coffee, Jermaine has a way of making every gathering better. A devoted sports fan and genuine gentle giant, he's one of the few people who can listen to Dan's most ridiculous ideas and somehow keep him focused on the main quest. In a world full of chaotic dice rolls, Jermaine is steady, kind, and always there when his friends need him.
Pablo Del Gallego
Keeper of the Castle & Beasts
Few heroes can claim to have endured the trials, tribulations, and spectacularly questionable decisions that come with adventuring alongside Dan for nearly two decades. Pablo is that singularly rare soul. As roommate, friend, confidant, and occasional rescuer of wandering adventurers, Pablo has survived some of the most absurd chaos imaginable. From inexplicably transforming a pheasant into a volcano to the aftermath of countless tavern exploits, he has repeatedly answered the call to save Dan from situations that would have defeated lesser men. Known throughout the realm as the Proprietor of the Casa de Pablo, he has done far more than provide shelter. He opened his home and his heart, welcoming Eeka into his abode and giving them a place to build our next chapter together within the walls of his most epic castle. Yet beyond the stories, the laughter, and the legendary adventures, Pablo is one of the kindest people we have ever known. His generosity, patience, and willingness to help others seem boundless. While many treasures have been collected throughout the years, none are more valuable than the friendship he has freely given. For nearly twenty years, Pablo has been a constant ally - steadfast, dependable, and always willing to stand beside his friends no matter what chaos unfolds around him.
