Kathryn Garner is an illustrator and science writer excited about cells, bacteria and engineering biology. During her first year at art school, she made a collection of Cell Paintings inspired by the brightly-coloured microscopy images in the biology books in the art school library. Making these paintings sparked a curiosity, leading her to train as a scientist, and a lifetime of making creative work about biology.

Hey there! I'm Josh Rottman, and I run the business side of things at Neoclassical Games. My partner and I have been making tabletop RPG stuff for over ten years now—we're all about mixing the best parts of old-school gaming with the kind of storytelling that actually works at your table. Our main game, Neoclassical Geek Revival, is probably what we're best known for. It's pretty stripped down compared to a lot of modern systems, but that's on purpose. We wanted something with real tactical meat on its bones that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's definitely some dry humor baked in, because honestly, if you can't laugh at your hobby, what's the point? Now, I didn't just stumble into this. I've spent about 17 years managing projects in the corporate world, nonprofits, government—you name it. I've done everything from big tech rollouts to teaching teams how to work together better. That background shapes how we approach everything at Neoclassical. Sure, we plan our releases carefully and keep things organized, but we always leave room for the weird, creative stuff that makes RPGs special in the first place. When I'm not working on games, I'm probably playing them with my kids or thinking about how powerful it is when people sit around a table and create stories together. Every zine, module, or full game we put out is really about giving you better tools to make your group's adventures weirder, funnier, and more memorable. Thanks for taking a look at what we're doing here on BackerKit. When you back one of our projects, you're literally keeping small-press gaming alive and helping us make more of the stuff we all love. I'm genuinely excited to see what kind of chaos you'll create with whatever we cook up next. -Josh

Begat of a tumultuous affair between a fomori and a leprechaun, Ian McGarty grew to enormous size in short time. After being gifted a small cache of first edition D&D and AD&D books to begin his leprechaun horde, Ian was fully immersed in the world of role playing. He has written for anyone daring enough to hire him and is one half of a happy business marriage with Jayson Rocky Gardner in Silver Bulette Publishing, the publisher of Fantastic Geographic, an OS multisystem RPG zine. He also dabbles in cartography and his maps can be found in products by Skeeter Green Productions, Frog God Games, Silver Bulette, Throwi Games, and DM’s Guild. He knocked off a bucket list item doing the maps for an Ed Greenwood book in Thay: Land of the Red Wizards. In his day gig, you can find him wrangling his kids on crazy adventures with his wife and working to provide speech pathology services to folks in need.
