How We Started
“What if…” was the spark. It started over Thai food on a random afternoon in Hollywood, and the conversation lasted longer than the meal.
In 2024, two of us were functionally unemployed and the third was under-employed. The spark was fading from some of our favorite hobbies, so Tony asked:
What if we threw more D&D events?
What if we brought our backgrounds into every session?
What if we hired our friends who were between gigs?
What if we made it community-first?
What if we just try?
“What if…” became our dare, and it’s why you’re here reading this.
That’s how Flagons N Dragons was born: immersive D&D with a twist. What’s the worst that could happen?
Meet the NERDS
Lore Master
Sean
Sean’s been a GM since the 1st edition Blue Box days, and he’s been building D&D worlds ever since. During Living Greyhawk (3.5 organized play) he served as the Keoland Triad, writing and running a huge library of convention content across NY, PA, and NJ, from intro adventures like Escape from Waldon Mountain to big multi-table interactives and notorious runs like Knights of Futures Past.
In Adventurers League, he’s edited multiple adventures and published the Moonshae-based Sailors on the Starless Sea on DMsGuild. At Flagons & Dragons, Sean is the deep D&D brain behind the scenes, reimagining AL Epics like Peril in the Port and Drums of the Dead, and designing immersive nights like Dinner with Strahd. If you want big ideas and a table that hits like an event, you’re in the right place.
Sorcerer of Sound Waves
DJ
A lifelong nerd and part-time tabletop gamer, DJ found D&D later than most—but was immediately captivated by its vast sense of wonder, escapism, and adventure. With a life in production, DJ has always strived to elevate storytellers, drawing on his background in audio production, sound design, theater, and a love of make-believe.
His core mission as part of this team is to make you believe you’re truly in the spaces we conjure. From a frozen tundra to a densely packed forest of the undead, everything you hear is crafted with purpose for each event.
Tactical Merchant
Tony
With a heart of gold and a knack for adventure, Tony is one of the first faces you’ll see at any Flagons N Dragons events. A loyal companion, a ferocious leader, and fearless fighter, Tony is the brainchild behind the founding of Flagons N Dragons. Following through on a “what if” conversations between the three of us, he was the one to encourage us to put our gold where our mouth was.
Obsessed with mechanics and lore, Tony is a phenomenal DM with a focus on technical battles and massive conflicts. When he’s not over-booked with games throughout his week, you can find him at Twin Mask, dawning a fresh pair of fangs and lurking in the shadows, spending time, as a player, at tables across the valley, or catching up on the latest systems.
