Hi hi hello,   I'm a young creator with a background in the movie industry, now striving to establish myself as an independent artist!  I'm an anime fan, I play videogames and I love Japan (I went there multiple times since 2010). I love to communicate with any kind of community so feel free to send me suggestions / feedbacks or any messages if you'd like ^-^ See you soon !

Hi, I'm Maury Brown, a writer, designer, and small business owner. In 2019, I somewhat irreverently founded Hokum & Snark as a place to park my sarcasm, puns, and whimsy. To the surprise of my queer and quirky heart, my designs have found an audience, mostly in enamel pins, stickers and earrings. So here I am, with the help of some friends, trying something softer, squishier, and more huggable than sticky, pricky items -- though this one still has (pretend) sharp bits. It's a cactus cat, after all.

Artisan machinist in Honolulu, HI. I've been making all sorts of stuff from telescope observatory components on Mauna Kea, to dice, to workholding vises for over a decade now.

Hi, I'm Steff. I'm the USA Today bestselling author of dark, gothic, and sinful romance novels. Born in New Zealand and raised on a steady diet of metal and out-of-print archaeology books, I’m now a novelist, hiker, mead-brewer, cat-wrangler, and professional iron maiden. Oh yeah... and I'm legally blind. My Cantankerous Drummer Husband (CDH for short) and I live in an off-grid home we designed and built ourselves on 4 acres of paradise overlooking the rugged Kaipara coastline, with our four cats, a menagerie of barnyard animals, and our medieval sword collection.

In the real world, I am a serial entrepreneur in the creative and tech sectors. I currently run a small custom software firm where we specialize in working with startups and first-time tech founders. I have a background in the social sciences, higher education, and nonprofits, but I finally found a home in the small business economy about 12 years ago.  I am an avid supporter of indie RPGs and board games. I've been backing projects for about six years, and I love the great work that indie creators are doing. Recently, I've begun producing my own indie games, the first of which was The Real Thing RPG. We had a great Kickstarter campaign, and now we're running the follow-up on Backerkit. We've got more great content on the way, so feel free to stay in touch at accidentalcyclops.com. 

We are a small indie game company, creating interesting new things out of a passion for tabletop gaming, fantasy, art and design, and creative writing. 

Creator of strange little worlds: you are welcome my friend!

Owl Knight Publishing is a small press publishing company focused on tabletop gaming.

I’m a 49-year-old RPG enthusiast and seasoned artist hailing from the vibrant city of Montreal, Canada. For over two decades, I’ve been weaving tales and crafting immersive content for tabletop gaming—it's not just a passion; it’s a lifelong journey that’s become a part of who I am. When I'm not conjuring up new maps or lore, you’ll find me cheering for hockey (it’s practically a religion here in Canada!) or spending quality time with my three loyal companions—two energetic French Bulldogs and a laid-back English Bulldog. They’re the true bosses of my creative lair! I graduated from art school back in 1995, diving headfirst into the digital world by 2001, and I’ve been blending traditional artistry with digital magic ever since. I’m pretty easygoing and always eager to chat about anything RPG-related, from character backstories to the latest campaign ideas. So, if you’re a fellow lover of all things fantasy, pull up a chair—let’s roll some dice and create epic stories together! https://www.facebook.com/mapalchemists
