June 11th, 2020 – We hope you are well and taking the time now and again to look after your health and wellbeing!
Welcome to another edition of our Creators Showcase, where every month we recommend some of our favourite artists and content creators from the D&D and table-top RPG community. We began this series to show support to creators who might be struggling recently due to recent world events and give you lovely readers the chance to follow more awesome creators in the D&D community.
In this series, we share a list of artists, YouTubers, Cosplayers, TikTokers, Twitch Streamers and any other forms of D&D themed content creators from the online community. As we mentioned in the previous Creators Showcase, don’t worry if you don’t have to funds to buy prints, commissions or to subscribe to a creator’s Twitch or Patreon. We know things are difficult for everyone right but by following a creator’s page and liking and sharing their content is plenty enough to show your support.
In this blog, we are going to share some of our favourite creators who we have been enjoying recently and remember if you are an artist, cosplayer or online creator in the D&D community and would like to take part in the next Creator’s Showcase or want us to shout out your favourite D&D creators, feel free to send us a message through our Facebook or Twitter page and we’ll feature you in the next edition!

Putting the brew back into "Irish idiots play a Homebrew'd Dungeons and Dragons campaign". Homebrew is an Irish created D&D series where a bunch of nerdy Irish idiots play Dungeons and Dragons based off Irish folklore and the brews, they drink each week.
Starring Gavin Carberry as Rian the Halfling Rogue, Wez Evans as Arlington the Bugbear Barbarian, Kelan Flynn as Huck the Halfling Sorcerer, Lucy Nuzum as Iggy the Half-elf Bard and Ben Clifford the powerful Dungeon Master. Homebrew is set in the Realm of Hibernia, a world where anything is possible but not necessarily probable.
