Meet the Guardtower Studios Crew
By gamers, for gamers.
As a group of gamers, ourselves, we take your games seriously.
Whether you're looking to stream your campaign, record a demonstration of your favorite game, or seeking to let the world know about your latest, greatest creation, our dedicated team understands gaming. Using our expertise in both a/v production and gaming we will work with you to generate creative solutions that meet your production needs.
James
A quintessential storyteller and "forever DM," James has run thousands of games, both casually and professionally, and has worked in multiple facets of the entertainment industry from game design and creation, to radio, television, music production, live-streaming, and live music. James brings his well-rounded experience in the entertainment industry to the table as the Producer of Guardtower Studios.
Favorite games: D&D, Warhammer 40k, Battletech,
Dorf Romantik, Deadlands
Ash
Ash is a web developer with a penchant for gaming, and a love of a/v production. In addition to both working in our stores and appearing on our shows, she is a production assistant at Guardtower Studios and can often be found working behind the scenes (if she's not on camera).
Favorite games: D&D, Shadowrun, Pathfinder, Smash Up, Wyrmspan
Hanna
An absolute joy both on-camera and off, Hanna is not only our makeup artist and a production assistant, but she brings her love of roleplaying games to life as the host of our show, "RPGallery."
Have an idea for one of our shows? Have an RPG you'd like to see featured? Have a crazy, cosmetic idea that's so amazing that you're struggling to contain the excitement? Hanna can make it happen.
Favorite games: D&D, Betrayal, Wyrmspan, Disuyedv, and Pathfinder.
Jerred
Don't let the laid-back demeanor fool you, Jerred is a beast on the tabletop. He's more than a production assistant, he's the host of Table Ready, and he's more than willing to face you on the tabletop.
Do you have an army that you'd like to try your luck with? Do you have a game you'd like to challenge him with? Are you in the Columbus area?
Let us know, and you just may be able to face him, yourself, in a war-game of your choice.
Favorite games: Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, D&D, Pathfinder, Halo Flashpoint
Jade
Jade loves to read. No, seriously (she read 60 books in 2024).
When she's not reading, Jade also loves games. Though she's fairly new to tabletop gaming, she's a fast learner, and alongside James, is one of the hosts of Tabletop Scholar, where she learns the ins and out of tabletop games and the tabletop gaming industry. She's also a production assistant (when we can pull her away from a book).
Favorite games: D&D... and anything with rich lore.
