Mark Corrigan
GM Mark Corrigan of Sionnach Games has been creating and writing TTRPG content for a number of years and is also a GM for The Emerald Collective. Mark is the DM for the Dark Fantasy D&D adventure "The Violet Madness" and also the Keeper for the Call of Cthulhu podcast as part of The Emerald Collective.
Mark enjoys creating adventures, maps and monsters that are a little bit outside of the norm to keep players on their toes.
Mark plays his games using the rules as guidelines and is a firm believer in "the rule of cool". While suspense and eerie themes are Mark's jam, he also loves the dash of humour in games.
Dave Gibson
Dave has been playing and running TTRPGs for over 30 years now and yes, his knees have started creaking at this stage, he reports. Dave’s first exposure to TTRPGs was the original D&D Red Box but his imagination was really fired when he began to play in a regular AD&D 2E group in the 90s, leading him on to run his first campaign which lasted over ten years. You can find Dave over on The Emerald Collective running his long form, home brew D&D 5E campaign, The Sopherone Saga, an epic campaign set on the continent of Sopherone which follows the stories and fate of a group of heroes as they stumble upon a dreadful plan hatched by some of the most powerful people in the Royal Family of Sopherone City. Dave also runs a Radiant Citadel based mini campaign on The Emerald Collective as well as creating and running several original One Shots online. As well as all of that, Dave has just created the continent of Sargaath on his world of Hethar, the new setting for The Emerald Collective’s first 5E podcast - The Starless Twilight.
