Matt Zane (he/him) is a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast who began the hobby in 2016. Enchanted with the storytelling, mechanics, and roleplaying elements of the game, he was quickly hooked, and has been DMing and playing ever since. Matt enjoys writing about DnD's many spells and rules in a beginner-friendly way that touches on more advanced gameplay. He also has a YouTube channel where he covers even more Dungeons and Dragons topics. When Matt's not playing Dungeons and Dragons, he's reading a tome of lost lore, leveling up his cooking skill, or chasing an adventure in the woods.
