Anna B Meyer used to roam in and over the northern reaches of Europe and her native Sweden. Nowadays her deeds are carried out in warm and sunny southern California.
Anna’s an old school roleplayer who began to play D&D in the early days just before the original Red Box came out. While her first session didn’t make her a gamer, she saw the potential in roleplaying and her passion for the hobby grew quickly afterward. Her DM back then had made his own world and to Anna it was like magic – she wanted to have her own world but didn’t know where to begin. A few years later the Greyhawk box came out and after reading a few pages there was no turning back – she fell in love with the setting and has been running games on Oerth ever since. Maps have always fascinated her and so did the map which came with the box. Swept away by its beauty, Darlene’s work inspired Anna to read and create lots of adventures over the years.
