About Us
Welcome to Ert’s Treehouse!
I’m Michael, the founder and creator of this wonderous treetop of tabletop gaming - here’s the story of Ert’s Treehouse and how we got to where we are today.
At the age of 9, I fell in love with fantasy stories when I began playing the Dungeons & Dragons Board Game, which was my first introduction to the world of D&D. I studied Games Design at University, and it was at this time that my passion for playing Dungeons & Dragons re-emerged. I started to run my Homebrew Campaign which was based on my own setting, and loved the creativity and freedom this gave me. From here, I was inspired to continue creating my own worlds and adventures that I could share with my friends.
Some of these adventures were played and then published online on DM’s Guild, which was my first experience sharing my content and campaigns with like minded passionate players of D&D and TTRPGS. In the summer of 2023, I had some exciting ideas that quickly turned into a passion project, and I really wanted to push this a little further to see what I could do. This is when Ert’s Treehouse was born - a representation of the lighthearted and passionate creative that I am. I went on to run our very first Kickstarter Project: Horrors of the Deep. It was a great success, hitting 600% funding. The amount of support I was receiving absolutely blew me away, and I was able to take this project so much further than any I had created before. This has given me the drive to continue writing and sharing content with fellow D&D players.
I have always wanted to create content that is easy to use and that I could easily use as a Dungeon Master myself. This project represents what I hope to continue doing with everything we create here at Ert’s Treehouse. My heart and soul goes into each project and it truly is a part of me and what I love about D&D, and I can only hope this reflects to players through my work.
Ert’s Treehouse got its name from a character played in one of the aforementioned campaigns. He was a favourite in that world, and in honour of him and the D&D group that he was a part of, the brand got its name - plus, I really like goblins. It is our mission at Ert’s Treehouse to continue to share our passion and provide you with exceptional content to enhance your tabletop experience.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure with Ert’s Treehouse. We cannot wait to continue creating and share with you all of the immersive and unforgettable stories that bring the magic of D&D to your table.
