About Us


Dan Yarrington
I am Dan Yarrington, Tabletop Tycoon, Pinball Tycoon, father, brother, husband, gamer, adventurer, and explorer. As the founder, CEO, and resident of our organization, I have envisioned a specific kind of company and a way of working. Understanding who I am might help to understand why I have built the company the way I have.

Who Am I?
I am: passionate, fast-paced, diligent, brash, dedicated, generous, brilliant, clueless, confident, overconfident, oblivious, arrogant, right (sometimes), wrong (often), precise, driven, collaborative, helpful, demanding, dedicated, inspiring, difficult, innovative, entrepreneurial, relentless, exhausting, respectful, challenging, responsible, eager, quick, creative, strategic, tactical, voracious, loquacious, and frustrating. I am all of these born from a caring about people and purpose.
I choose to spend that time creating great products that help bring joyful experiences to people's lives. The song from Hamilton that best describes me is “Non-Stop”. My favorite Muppet is Fozzie Bear. Wokka wokka wokka!
I've dedicated my life to getting things done. For myself, for my family, for my friends, for my peers, for the world. As Gandalf says, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

My favorite movie is The Princess Bride and it sums up my sensibilities in a marvelous way. Anyone else who thinks differently is absolutely, totally, and in all other ways, inconceivable!
My favorite TV show is Doctor Who and I'm always up for adventuring through time and space. This description is intended to give you an insight into who I am and what it's like to work with me. I am a very particular human being. Not everyone thrives working with me. I'm looking to find folks who are energized by my personality.
From this effervescent and enervating personality derive our core values. These are not pretty thoughts or ideas. These are non-negotiable to who I am. These are ways of thinking and being that every member of the organization needs to believe and strive toward, each and every day.

Assassin
Becca is one of our classic overachievers. When she isn't cooking for the office or friends, being an amazing dog mom, or teaching dance classes, she is using her “spare time” to complete her MBA. She is always quick to show her enthusiasm for the small things in life... and musical theatre.
When she is not assisting our fearless leader and the organization, she is often found playing board games and video games with her coworkers, and killing people with kindness.

Sam
Tinkerer
Sam joins our team hailing from every corner of New England. Ironically, Sam grew up as an artist in a predominantly athletic boarding school and transferred as an athlete to an arts school.
Sam's one true hobby is board games; from casual play to game design. This hobby has now become the focus of his career as our resident Board Game Producer.
You may find Sam crafting spicy pan sheet nachos in his personal time, or playing disc golf with friends and family.


Matt
Smuggler
Born in the port city of New York, Matt was ferreted away into the deep woods of western New Hampshire on his first birthday. Knowing very little of his birthright, he was raised in a humble cottage on the peak of Mount Marlow until he came of age. Without a clear path forward, he found himself taking odd jobs moving material, always making sure the precious cargo gets to its destination. Before long, he found himself in charge of transporting said precious cargo, and whether or not some finds its way into more lucrative places, who’s to say?
A musician in his free time, he joined several bands over the years, most recently in Promise Game as the bassist. He also dabbles in video games, tabletop wargames, and tennis. Naturally adventurous, he lived in Israel and New Zealand for a time but found the need to lay down roots in his middle years. Recently married, with a new purpose, his next chapter is the most exciting: smuggling games to eager fans!

A War of Whispers Standard Edition 2nd Edition


Stephen
Quantum Explorer
Stephen's first business cards at age 12 listed him as a Renaissance Man because his curiosity is always leading him into dangerous new places. Whether financially risky (comic collecting), socially inadvisable (ukulele), or hazardous to his very well-being (theatre), he teaches himself whatever skills he needs to leap into each new pursuit. And so Stephen finds himself leaping from Acting to Arts Marketing, from Graphic Design to Games, striving to expand his eclectic expertise, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home, to his out-of-his league wife and two extraordinary kids.


Yvonne
Reaper
Hailing from Singapore (the greenest city in the world!), Yvonne joins our team and adds in an excellent creative eye. When she's not doing all things graphic design, drawing and illustration, you can often find Yvonne playing Final Fantasy 14, sculpting dolls or writing fictional tales.
Our resident reaper also loves spending time with her family and enjoying coffee shop delights!


Bec
Warlock
Bec is a native New Englander and a resident “Final Girl” who recently returned from a southern carnival led by a mouse before joining the Tabletop team. With her high Charisma score, she is a valuable member of the Sales & Support team. During lunch breaks, she enjoys entertaining her colleagues by playing horror games.
Outside of work, Bec spends her time playing cozy games or watching horror movies with her two cat companions, Ladle and Spatula. She and her cinephile husband often create games to help them decide which movie to watch next. Bec keeps her collection of themed makeup palettes, Barbie dolls, and various entomology oddities in her lair.


Bobby
Paladin
Hailing from the often forgotten addendum to New York, Long Island, Bobby started his journey with us as 2025 began. His love for videogames and competition took him to the world of esports, competing professionally in Overwatch and holding many roles as a coach, producer, manager, and on-camera talent. Seeking new challenges, he joined the Tabletop Tycoon team as a Sales and Support Associate, bringing his competitive edge to Sales and his on-camera personality to Support.
When not leading the charge, shield in hand, Bobby spends his time playing video games, board games, and D&D, spending time with his incredible wife and their spoiled cat, and organizing tournaments for his friends to duke it out on a variety of battlefields.


Chris W.
Bard
Hailing from the lands of Massachusetts, Chris has taken up the mantle of leading Tycoon Arcade, our old-school arcade and retail store. Wielding sharp wit and a guitar, he is always ready to share his melodious music as the Glimmerhold Bard, producing an environment of warmth and joy for all.
Every great entertainer needs to rest, and in those times Chris enjoys adventures in nature, whether hiking mountainous terrain or by playing his favorite video games to explore vast new worlds. Also something of an alchemist, Chris is often found brewing his own mead and beer, or cooking interesting recipes.


John
Pinball Squire
Returning from far away lands, John fell under the tutelage of the resident Tycoon Tinkerer. John's abilities range from smithing, seaming, calligraphy, tinkering, survival and arcanotech. He has survived encounters with spirits of the lake; he walks the planes as a hobby, and has acquired resistance to lighting damage.
During his downtime John will be in his workshop, enjoying games with good company, or satiating a creeping wanderlust.
Games have always been a spot for relation and fun for him, especially with friends and family. Boardgames have gained much favor with him even though ttrpgs remain the clear favorite. When running games, he has been known to feed his guests like halfings and dwarves.


Billy
Caveman
Billy comes to us from a land that isn't far away… He's the only Ducati driving caveman that we've ever seen! He also likes to play some pinball and take some serious naps (when he's not
working here at the Tycoon Arcade!) He also likes to use his club to play Golden Tee instead of the actual golf clubs.
