DOTS Guild

Greetings Traveler, and welcome to the DOTS Guild! Our Guild is home to wonderful individuals who are passionate about being a force of good in the land. Our members span across many different ranks, each one having their own part to play in keeping our mission moving forward. We are actively recruiting new members and have many positions available. Some ranks require a small donation to be made to the guild to help cover costs, while others are available on a volunteer basis. Below you will find a list of our ranks as well as current guild members. If you are interested in joining any of the ranks listed below, please provide the Guild Master with your application or begin your patronage.

Guild Leaders

Guild Master Jess
Originally the Social Media Sorcerer, Jess (she/her) moved up in the ranks and now leads the DOTS Guild. She has her hands in everything the Guild does, working to keep all aspects moving forward. From recruiting new Guild Members to seeking out new members of the DOTS Family, partnering with new companies and organizations to finding places to donate to and get involved with, and the never ending tasks of problem solving, managing, marketing, and planning for the future, you can always find her hard at work somewhere.

Master Artificer Joey
Joey (he/him) is responsible for many technical aspects of the DOTS Guild. He takes a hands on approach to his Research and Development work, designing new dice models, tokens, and other tactile gaming aids. He keeps many moving parts moving as they should, maintaining the 3D printers, braille embosser, and programs necessary to complete all our projects. His brain is always running, crafting new ideas, items, and solutions for obstacles we need to overcome.
Master Seneschal Raina
Raina (she/her) shines behind the scenes for the DOTS Guild. One of the first people a new Guild Member will meet, she focuses on running Operations. She helps keep projects on track by working closely with all Guild Members on their assigned tasks as well as planning out new ones. Raina uses her life experience with disabilities to guide the Guild in the right direction with everything from new ideas to fine tuning existing ones. Her voice is a driving force moving things forward and keeping us connected.
