At Soar Games Studio, we are passionate storytellers and creators driven by one simple mission: to craft unforgettable board game experiences. Every game we design is more than just mechanics and miniatures—it’s a journey shaped by meaningful choices, immersive worlds, and the thrill of shared discovery. We believe that a great board game doesn’t just entertain—it creates moments of tension, laughter, betrayal, and triumph that linger long after the final round. That’s why we pour our hearts into every detail: from elegant gameplay systems to evocative lore, from bold visual design to balanced player interaction. With Realm of Sword & Snow, we set out to build a world that rewards both strategy and storytelling. Whether you’re forging alliances, clashing in epic battles, or navigating the rise of the undead, we want every session to feel like a story worth telling. We’re gamers at heart—and we build the kind of games we love to play.

A lifelong enthusiast of all things fantastical, Yoav founded NiStar Entertainment to give the world a taste of what role-playing games can truly be. Yoav's journey into the realm of role-playing games at the tender age of 13, when a fateful encounter with a tattered rulebook and a handful of dice changed the course of his life forever. What began as casual games with friends eventually took Yoav across North America in search of new ways to bend, break, and reshape the world of tabletop role-playing. As a Game Master, Yoav crafts legendary campaigns that are immersive and leave even the most seasoned players at the edge of their seats. His style is unorthodox: a mix of cinematic storytelling, gut-wrenching tension, tournament style play, and a high level of detail. His worlds are full of danger, dark humor, and mind-bending twists, designed not just to challenge players but to make them feel the stakes - to make them believe, even for a moment, that the fantasy is real.But Yoav isn't just a Game Master. As the CEO of NiStar Entertainment, he's the driving force behind the company's relentless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the role playing game world. His mission is simple: to create worlds and experiences that ignite the imagination and leave players breathless. Whether it's designing homebrew monsters, crafting intricate NPCs, or creating entire campaigns from scratch, Yoav's vision is to make role playing games a thrilling, unpredictable adventure, one that embraces the unpredictable nature of both the game and the human spirit.

Freelance Illustrator and Merch Maker

I live in beautiful northwest Arkansas in a big blue castle with my family, several loyal cats, many birds, and two dogs. I fill my days with slaying dragons at traffic lights, earning points at coffee shops, and sparring with the dishes. I also enter the amazing magical kingdom of my mind to pull out stories of wizards, goddesses, high school, angels, and first kisses. Sigh.  I'm the author of several young adult stories, kids books, romance novels, and even one nonfiction.  You can find me outside enjoying a cup of iced tea or in my closet snuggling with my cat. But if you can't make the trip to Arkansas, I'm also hanging out on Facebook and Instagram but usually TikTok as @Tamara_writes. You can also visit me on my website, tamarahartheiner.com. I look forward to connecting with you!

I'm Duke. I make things and help run Critical Mass Rocketworks.

Kawaiiigloo was started in 2020 as an online stationery and gift store based in the United States by a Mother and Daughter duo. In 2022 however, we established a partnership with family and friends, and Kawaiigloo reached new creative outlooks. Now as of 2026, we have expanded to encompass an assortment of products, and we have had several successful BackerKit and Kickstarter projects. What started as a pastime for us, has since grown exponentially to become a small business with faithful clients around the globe! We wholeheartedly hope you enjoy our products, and we look forward to seeing your creativity featuring Kawaiiigloo!

Corey Konieczka is the designer over 20 tabletop games, including Star Wars: Rebellion, Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game, and The Initiative.  He’s been writing stories for as long as he’s been making games, because life is just the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we tell others. He lives with his wife, daughter, and many animals out in the wilderness of New England. He spends far too much time inside his head: a dangerous wilderness where anything is possible.

Hi! I'm Bee (she/they) and I manage both Hivezines and Hivepins! :)

Since I was a kid, I've always been creating new characters and systems for the games I love. Now that I'm older, I'm making sure I take advantage of the opportunities I have to make things I think are really cool. You might know me from Rats Attack! a project I've been working on for months now. It's my first monetized project and an expression of how I like to tell my stories.

Born and raised in the heart of Louisiana's Cajun Country, I’m a passionate writer of dark, fantasy, paranormal, and even alien romances—if there’s a romance involved, chances are I’ve written it. My stories are filled with mystery, magic, and intense emotional connections that keep readers on the edge of their seats. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me creating special editions of my books packed with all the bells and whistles—character art, exclusive swag, and more for my readers to treasure. I love connecting with fans, whether it’s through my TikTok shop, my website, or in person at events where I can share the stories I pour my heart into. A proud mother and new grandmother, I’ve faced many challenges in life, including a battle with chronic Lyme disease, but I’ve never let it define me. Writing is my escape and my passion, and with the support of my amazing assistant Jessica, my husband Trevor, and my daughters, Arianna and Brianna, I’m living my dream of writing full-time. Even my two youngest sisters pitch in, helping me with various tasks for the business—it’s truly a family affair! At home in Alabama, surrounded by love, laughter, and inspiration, I’m never without my two Shih Tzus, Charlie and Luna, along with my three mischievous cats—Ramses, Simba, and Cookie. Whether I'm doting on my furry companions, reading, or soaking up family time, every moment is a precious one. Join me as I continue to create worlds full of romance, adventure, and unforgettable characters that you won’t want to put down!
