Contributor

After graduating with a BA in English and Sociology, Abigail followed the great Irish tradition of emigrating immediately. Nine months into a retail position at CeX, while lost in the deeply meditative process of cleaning gamer gunk™ off an Xbox 360 controller, it occurred to her that there had to be a better way to make a living from my love of nerdy guff. And so began Abigail's journalistic journey, continuing until she landed the role of Tabletop & Merch Writer. After deciding to go freelance, she is now a valued contributor of the site. As someone who is as artsy-craftsy as they are tabletop-gamey, Abigail loves tending to the fine details of miniature painting just as much as she loves roleplaying crushing my foes in combat. So, expect coverage of Dungeons & Dungeons, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer, and heaps more as she finds new hobby rabbit holes to fall down.
