Tabletop & Merch Editor

As the site's Tabletop & Merch Editor, I'm in charge of everything from board game reviews to Lego guides. If it involves rolling dice, nerdy collectibles, or an absurd number of miniatures, I'm there. Although I joined GamesRadar+ in 2018, I've been writing about games in one form or another for more than a decade - my bylines stretch back to 2012 and range from Metro.co.uk to TechRadar. I try not to use this power for evil, but can normally be found cackling over some nefarious plan I've cooked up for my group's next Dungeons & Dragons campaign. You can follow me on Twittܫer .
