The Team

  • Carrie Day (she/her)

    Otter Creek Games Manager

    I’m a New River Valley native, Virginia Tech chemistry grad, and former Twitch streamer.

    My family raised me on board games my entire life, playing Catan, Ticket to Ride, and so many more, before it became cool. I started exploring deep into role-playing games when I entered college and have been in and out of groups over the last 15 years.

     Currently, my primary drivers are in deep miniature wargaming. Age of Sigmar is my preferred wargame at the moment, but I’ve also been learning A Song of Ice and Fire this summer. I’ve done a ton of skirmish wargames like Frostgrave, and Blood Bowl is a guilty pleasure.

    I’ve been focused on my painting journey and competing in painting competitions. I’ve volunteered to help run GTs and doubles events and large-scale painting competitions like Capital Palette at the NOVA Open.

    I am a mom to 3 kids + 2 dogs + 1 cat and I just celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary with my husband Graham.

    Will Adamson (he/him)

    Wolf Den Games Founder and Co-owner

    I am the founder and co-owner of Wolf Den Games. I’ve been interested in games and puzzles since childhood. I was an avid consumer of comic books through high school, but didn’t get into D&D until the Army. We played a lot of AD&D and Magic: The Gathering in the Army. I didn’t discover miniatures until buying the Warhammer 40k 5th edition starter set around 2010, but I’ve been hooked ever since.

    My goal with Wolf Den Games is to bring the friendly local game store experience to my adopted home town of Abingdon. My wife and I decided that we wanted to raise our kids here, and this is where I want to share my love of games.

    Wolf Den Games Co-owner

    I started out as a huge fan of Wolf Den Games in its early months. (Will was playing in the D&D campaign I was running at the time.) In May 2022 I came onboard as co-owner.

    My prior careers range from software development in downtown Atlanta to teaching choirs right here in Washington County, VA. I’m an “Xennial” who grew up in a family that celebrated classic card, word, and board games. My first RPG experience was 2nd Ed. Advanced D&D in middle school with my Boy Scout friends.

    In 2000 a game of Settlers of Catan introduced me to modern hobby board games and I haven’t looked back. I love hosting gaming events and parties — I get almost as much joy introducing others to games as I do actually playing them.

    Expertise: Board Games, RPGs, Party/Folk Games, Event Planning
