Hello! My name is DIA Adams and i am a 24 year old cartoonist who loves all kinds of silly creatures. 

Tabletop RPG writer and designer 

Charles M. Ryan has written or contributed to titles in nearly every class of tabletop game—board games, card games, trading card games, miniature games, and roleplaying games—over nearly 35 years in the game industry. He's the COO and a partner at Monte Cook Games, publisher of innovative and imaginative TTRPGs such as Numenera, Invisible Sun, No Thank You, Evil!, and the Cypher System, among other popular, critically acclaimed, and award-winning lines; past roles include the global brand manager for Dungeons & Dragons and marketing head at one of the world’s largest game distributors. In addition to games, Charles writes fiction, with examples including the well-reviewed novel The Mason of New Orleans and Origins-Award-nominated novella Infestations. He lives in Overland Park, Kansas, an excellent home base for his interests in travel, diving and snorkeling (preceded by that aforementioned travel), film, reading, and of course lots of game-playing. You can frequently find Charles on the road at events such as Gen Con, Gamehole Con, and PAX Unplugged—check in with Monte Cook Games, and he won't be far!

JC Spark lives in the north of Denmark, where she plans to write, drink tea, and possibly talk to her characters without anyone giving her strange looks. After 20 years as a psychologist (plus past lives as a waitress, bookkeeper, office admin, and bartender), JC now runs a business centered around exclusive crowdfunded board games and 3D printing.  But her true obsession? Creating parallel realities, grappling with physics, and trying to outwit the voices in her head by giving them names and complex backstories. A lifelong tea enthusiast, she occasionally flirts with espresso – once even going for six shots.  Her books are best enjoyed with a warm drink and an open mind. JC’s debut trilogy No Brainer is a slow-burning firework of science fiction, mystery, and myth – imagine The X-Files colliding with X-Men, then shaken with a bit of Good Omens and Doctor Who. Expect FBI agents, neuroscientists, physicists, sentient cosmic forces, cake, chaos, cats, burned macarons, and characters who may or may not be figments of her imagination.

Co-host of Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk since it's inception in 2018 and has featured on over 300 episodes, PJ has been a long time promoter of TTRPGs, having formed the Southampton Guild of Roleplayers in 2017 and rebooting it in 2022. PJ worked on the Level Up: Advanced Fifth Edition core books as a designer and has editing credits on The Dungeon Delver's Guide and the Voidrunner's Codex which are also flagship books of EN Publishing, PJ has also featured in the 2023 and 2024 Gatepass Gazette Annuals and is an active TTRPG freelancer. Their own work is published under the Homebrew and Hacking TTRPG Design label and they have their own Publisher Page on DrivethruRPG.com (part of the Onebookshelf Group as owned by roll20.) This work includes the first editions of Crafting Heritages and Cultures, and Crafting Personalised Feats, which are both point based systems which have System Reference Documents (SRDs) that you can download for free and which are also available in digital braille. These are provided as demonstration of PJ's committment to the importance of the Creative Commons rather than locking creators into a new company licence and to accessibility because TTRPGs are for everyone. PJ has also written the definitive expansion on the use of vehicles and writing magical upgrades for your players to use them with in A5e (which of course is fully compatible with 5th edition 2014 and 2024) in "One if by Sea, Two if by Land, Three if by Air". Their most recent book is "Worlds To-Go: The Elysians" a new product line which produces unique micro-settings intended to "dragon drop" into your existing work and to be miniature toolboxes for aspiring Narrators and GMs (Gremlin Moderators). This also includes a number of pre-generated characters under the "Battle Ready" line to allow Narrators to start play at higher levels.  PJ dislikes existing settings, but really likes terrible puns, fermenting mead and hard cider, and taking disparate ideas that should in no way work together and making them work, which explains a lot of their life, their company name and their body of work. They live in Southampton, UK with their partner the Mysterious Dr Z and their cat Monty.

Hello! You already know my name! I'm a 32 year old Black bisexual trans man. I've been designing in the TTRPG space since 2020. I was mainly focused on 5e stuff you might be familiar with some of the things I've worked on: Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby, MCMD Arcadia, Flee Mortals etc. I spend a lot of my time making tiktoks where I give advice on DMing, do funny skits and talk about bigotry in the TTRPG space in the hope of eradicating it one step at a time!  My favorite genres for game design are: fantasy (pretty much any type), sci-fi, post apocalyptic, mechs, horror
