Bret has been a nerd of everything involving fantasy novels, movies, and video games. He started with making small stories to share with his local Dungeons and Dragons players. Since then, he has been working with several Tabletop Roleplaying Systems creating adventures for beginners and experts alike. During his education for Science and Technology Studies at York University, he began to work with Roseneath Theatre developing DND series, How To Train Your Dungeon Master, and other TTRPG events.

 

Working with tabletop has been a transformative experience throughout the years and have increased reading comprehensions, mental math, literacy, foundations of theatre, and teamwork. All of this would not be possible without the love and support of fellow family and friends along with Roseneath Theatre. The adventure never ends!

Maverick Canterville is a transgender bag of bones, storyteller, writer, and, of course, a Dungeon Master. He has a B.A. in English Language and Literature from Queen’s University for which he dearly paid. Like so many adventurers, Maverick’s journey into the world of tabletop roleplaying games began in a tavern, and they’ve spent the last 8 years perfecting the hobby. He spends his days incredibly grateful for the opportunity working with Roseneath Theatre has given hymn.

 

It’s Maverick’s mission in (un)life to make tabletop games accessible to players from all walks of life, and to show as many of their fellow adventurers as possible that Dungeons & Dragons is only the beginning. He heartily recommends Monster of the Week, Lasers & Feelings, Monsterhearts 2, and Mothman Won’t Move Out! for starters, and looks forward to adventuring together soon!

Kyle is an experienced Improvisor and performer who brings over a decade of experience as a DM to Rosenath’s team. Kyle is a teacher candidate studying at York University, who looks forward to bringing the same flair for performance he brings to his work at Roseneath into the History classroom.

 

Kyle believes the brightest creativity shines through in response to challenges, and uses D&D and other TTRPGs to bring that creativity to the forefront, asking players to navigate tricky situations and seemingly overwhelming odds with cleverness and collaboration. When he’s not running D&D games for his friends or campers, Kyle is an avid reader, video gamer, and professional wrestling enjoyer. Kyle likes to really explore what makes a game tick, and he brings that passion for game design to his TTRPG campaigns. 

For the last decade, Kyle has been sharpening his skills as an Improvisational Comedian; First as president of the University of Toronto’s performance team and then later as an independent producer. Kyle has looked to push the boundaries of Improvisational formats, creating and pioneering longform formats. Most recently, Kyle directed “The Fronge Festival” at the Kingston Fringe, and is currently workshopping the show to eventually debut in Toronto.
