Jeff “Hageshii01” Venancio

If you’re wondering how that username is pronounced, it’s like “hag-eh-she”.  Or “hog-eh-she.”  Whatever makes you happiest.

I am 27, and originally a native of Western Massachusetts but recently moved to the Greater Boston Area where I currently live with my girlfriend, Jenn.  I graduated from Bridgewater State University with a degree in environmental biology and currently work in a laboratory for a large medical company.

Besides our DnD content, I may be writing about whatever makes the geek-center of my brain light up in joy.  Video games, movies, anime, role-playing games; if I want to talk about it you’ll find it here.  And I like to talk about stuff.

Jenn “Evathon Dala” Kilgallon

Greetings Earthling! I am Jeff’s partner in life and in crime, and I am hear to bring you all of the laughter and belches. I am on the Legends From Aeramis podcast, playing Evathon Dala, who is a druid elf wild child, and honestly my spirit animal. But I am also here to write some stuff too and to share things with you that I am excited about!
I live in the Boston area with Jeff and our two roommates James (Camden, from Legends from Aeramis) and Victoria (Talia, from Legends From Aeramis), and their cat, Binx. I graduated from Bridgewater State University with a Bachelors of Art in English, and a minor in Zombies. I am a full time administrative assistant for a family owned business, and a part-time theatre technician and carpenter for the local theatre networks in the Boston area.

I like lots of stuff from writing, carpentry, reading, and kayaking to fighting zombies, playing videogames, reading comic books, Dungeons and Dragons (obviously), playing board games, and laser tag. I am a person of many hobbies, and I love trying new things. I also eat a ton of sushi and drink a ton of tea. I am so excited to share with you some things I learn about and fun adventures that I get to embark on. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

You can follow me on Twitter at @Jenn_Kilgallon. I like to share all the fun adventures I am on, send out links to cool topics and information, and take a deeper look into the fun, good things in life. I like to think I sometimes bring new perspective to the table. Let’s chat about all that life has to offer and the great parts of the geek-world.
