Lucy Spacey

Lucy is a long-time escapist, fantasy and sci-fi nerd who finally got people to start playing D&D with her about 5 years ago. Her spare time is spent feverishly flitting between books, board games, video games and ttrpgs (if not playing them, thinking about them). Reckons she’s a Ranger, but probably a city guard or librarian NPC, at best.
