Co-Founder

Originally a theatre major, Austin "Uknits" Kulp is now a baker at a local non-profit.  Learning to read on the old Sierra adventure games at the age of three and being taught to play D&D to help learn arithmetic in elementary school at age six, gaming has literally taught him his life skills. A very competitive member of Final Show Films, he is an avid player of all things strategy in both video and table top games, particularly Magic: The Gathering.  

Dakota Visser

Aislin Vissers

Originally from Michigan, Aislin has found a new home in the PNW. Growing up, she read as much fantasy & sci-fi as she could get her hands on], but discovered a love for TTRPGS 4 years ago with her first character: the morally ambiguous dragonborn rogue Kastos. She was lucky enough to meet and make new friends later that year from FSF at Portland Wizard World, her first convention. She was invited to a game run by John, and has since been a happy cast member in multiple campaigns run by the spectacular and talented people DM/GMing here at FSF. She would eventually like to join that pool of talent, but until then she is happy acting as one of the many cats they herd. Her other hobbies include drawing, PC gaming, reading, and creating OCs, worlds, and stories in more rpg settings than she’ll probably ever have time to play.

When not gaming with Final Show Films, writing reviews of Game of Thrones and Titans, attending Portland-area comic conventions or doing his re-read of the entire X-Men comic line, he can often be found as a dirty hacker assassin in Overwatch or arguing the merits of the “Civil War” comic book storyline (except the ending).

Mara

Mara

Mara grew up on the edge of a swamp in Michigan bossing around her siblings and reading far too many books on gods. She went to school, read far too many books about Dead Things and Old Things, traveled, got a vaguely European accent, graduated, traveled, got a bad Texan accent, read a lot about boats, traveled, and graduated again. She now mainly haunts libraries and other strange places in search of the Holy Grail (yes, exactly like Indiana Jones. Thank you for noticing). At some point in 2015, Mara realized rpgs existed and were ridiculously cool, and dove headfirst into playing and GMing with any group that she could worm her way into, including with this lovely bunch of people. When not making Bad Decisions in these games, she knits, draws things, and generally thinks way too much about nothing at all.
