Daniel "Dungeon Dan" Craddock
Art and Content Creator
Hi, my name is Dungeon Dan, and I’m thrilled to be one of the art and content creators for Chaotic Chronicles. My contributions to the team include designing captivating artwork and crafting detailed stat blocks for the diverse NPCs and monsters that populate our adventures. My creative journey didn’t start here, though—before I began working with Chaotic Chronicles, I was a percussionist with a deep love for music, an unapologetic nerd, and someone who found immense joy in creating my tabletop RPGs just for fun.
My passion for monsters and art has been heavily influenced by some of my favorite JRPGs, especially Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 9. These games sparked my imagination and continue to inspire the creatures and worlds I bring to life through my work.
Having played tabletop RPGs for most of my life, I’ve gathered a wealth of experience and creative energy that I’m eager to share with the community. I’ve always had a big imagination, and I hope that through my creations, I can inspire everyone who plays our games to dream big and explore new horizons. As a kid, I was captivated by fictional books—reading was an adventure in itself, and I couldn’t go a day without diving into an epic story. My all-time favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, a masterpiece that has stayed with me throughout the years.
I dream of one day leaving behind a legacy that echoes the impact of the great visionaries and writers of the past. How exciting it would be to inspire others in the same way they’ve inspired me!
Joshua "JustJoshing" McCarty
Content Creator and Playtest DM
Hey, I'm Josh, one of the passionate content creators and dedicated playtest DMs here at Chaotic Chronicles. My role involves leading our playtest sessions, ensuring that every piece of content we develop is thoroughly tested and polished to perfection. I also contribute to the writing of our adventures and the design of the game mechanics that bring our unique vision to life.
My journey with Dungeons & Dragons began over five years ago, and while I've only been actively running and playing games for the past two years, my enthusiasm for the game has grown immensely. Before joining the Chaotic Chronicles team, I was constantly jotting down ideas for items, classes, and other homebrew content whenever inspiration struck.
What drives me is the joy of creating D&D content that resonates with players and enhances their gaming experiences. Being part of Chaotic Chronicles has given me the platform to share my ideas with a broader audience, and I’m incredibly excited to see our creations come to life in your campaigns. I’m committed to making sure that what we create will not only entertain but inspire your adventures for years to come.
Andrew Pickerill
Creative Director
Andrew Pickerill is the Creative Director for Chaotic Chronicles and the third member to join the team. He came aboard in the spring of 2024, infusing the project with his unwavering passion and boundless creativity. Andrew's background has been instrumental in shaping his determination and work ethic. A Marine Corps veteran with four years of service, he developed invaluable traits like discipline, leadership, and teamwork during his time in the military—traits that have carried over into his work in the TTRPG world.
Andrew’s journey into the tabletop RPG space began in 2019, just before the COVID pandemic, when he discovered Dungeons & Dragons. His love for the game, and TTRPGs in general, grew quickly, and he transitioned from an enthusiastic player to a skilled Dungeon Master. Eventually, his passion for storytelling and world-building led him to step into the role of creator, where his creative energy has flourished ever since.
As Creative Director, Andrew wears many hats, overseeing various aspects of Chaotic Chronicles’ production. From conceptualizing artwork to writing detailed adventures, Andrew works tirelessly alongside the team to ensure that every project meets the highest standards of quality and is delivered on time.

Michael Victory
Storyteller, Bard, Poet, Lorekeeper, and Historian
Hello, my name is Michael Victory, and I have the pleasure of writing for Chaotic Chronicles from time to time in various roles, including storyteller, bard, poet, lorekeeper, and historian. Though I’m relatively new to this genre of writing, it has quickly captured my imagination, and I find the creative possibilities to be endlessly intriguing. Every project I work on here is an exciting journey, and I’m dedicated to weaving tales that resonate with adventure, wonder, and the depth of Chaotic Chronicles’ vast world.
While I’m new to TTRPG storytelling, I’ve always had a passion for writing. I’m a self-published author, and my first book, Between the Droughts: A Book of Poems and Dreams, is a personal collection that reflects my journey as a writer. It’s just the beginning, and I look forward to adding more books to my portfolio in the future.
As I continue to grow as a writer in this adventurous genre, I aim to do it justice and contribute to our shared goal of building something magical. I’m excited to grow alongside the incredible team at Chaotic Chronicles and our ever-growing community of players and creators. I hope that we all come together, learning and thriving as one big happy family.
Feel free to reach out to me on social media if you’d like to connect or have any questions. Life is too short not to smile, so let’s share some joy along the way. Hope to hear from you soon!
