Gadget

My name is Christina, but my friends call me Gadget.

I was first introduced to Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) when I was 14. At that time, we mostly played White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade and Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu. 20 years, 2 states, and MANY different games later I finally sat down to play Dungeons & Dragons for the first time.
Somewhere in there I spent 10 years teaching in 3 different museums, getting married, and moving from sunny San Diego to evergreen Washington State. I've changed in nearly every way imaginable from that 14-year-old, but I still love spending a few hours with friends creating fantastic stories and eating Doritos.
As an adult, I am much more aware of the positive impact TTRPGs have had in my life. As a woman, as someone with learning disorders and anxiety, and as an educator who doesn't make tons of money, I have seen some places in the gaming world where I think I can make a difference. TTRPGs have so much amazing potential but are still somewhat of a mystery to many folks. 
Gadget's Adventure Emporium is a business that helps others become confident in THEIR ability to imagine.

Once we can imagine then we can create.

Make. Believe.

Mac
(the wife)

A certified teacher with a Master's in Education and a passion for curriculum developement and storytelling, Mac is an important piece of this puzzle. Mac and I have a long and productive history of me slinging ideas and Mac developing them into full and vibrant programs. Thankfully they can't resist the pull of a good program idea.

Stef
​(the extrovert)

As it turns out, interacting with people does not come easily to introverts. Along with being another talented educator, Stef is a boisterous, passionate person who has much more belief in this project then I do sometimes. Occasionally I need to be reminded that social media IS important.
