Hello, I'd like to begin with a brief self-introduction. My name is Jason Pitts, and a few years ago, I decided to get competitive with Magic: The Gathering. I have been grinding PPTQs, Grand Prixs, SCG Opens, and any other tournament that I can.

I’m a special kind of nerd: One that obsesses over things such as Doctor Who, World of Warcraft, Destiny, etc. Once I get to liking something, you can’t shut me up about it. I’d like to introduce you to my husband, Scott. This fine man LOVES Dungeons and Dragons. It’s one of his highest passions to talk about, and I’m happy to hear about what brings out the spark in his eyes when he talks about something he loves.

I'm, admittedly, a bit of a nerd. Well, not really a bit of one—I'm a huge one. I think the real precursor to being an official geek is whether or not you play Dungeons and Dragons. I'm not talking about any of the video game adaptions, I mean the real thing—playing mat, dice, and all.
