Allan Dotson has been drawing monsters his whole life. An avid fan of all kinds of comics, science fiction, fantasy, and role-playing games, Allan often wondered about the secret lives of monsters. What would an evil monster's childhood be like? What would life be like for monsters in the dungeon when the adventurers are not around? Where do evil wizards get all those captive monsters to guard their towers and dungeons? Allan started by imagining train delivering baby monsters to a wizards' market, but once Eddy and his friends got loose, they started to take on lives of their own, and Critters was born. Allan Dotson was born in Regina. He has traveled the world as a documentary assistant director, and worked as a video game tester. He earned his BA in Art and English from the University of Lethbridge, and an Arts Education degree from the University of Regina. He was a founding member of Regina's Valuable Comics collective (2006-2014), and as a game designer has self-published 10 role-playing games. He has created board games, festival wide games, video game art, animation, murals, giant puppets, and a sitcom pilot, but his first love is comics. Allan's artwork is held in the permanent collections of the City of Regina, Saskatchewan Legislative Building, SK Arts, and Regina Public School Board.  In his secret identity, Allan teaches art and science for an alternative elementary school. When he is not teaching, drawing, or reading comics, he enjoys climbing things and playing Dungeons & Dragons. Allan's comics and games are online at maycontainmonkeys.com.

My name is Coray Seifert. I’m the guy writing about combat robots with heart and occasionally writing about writing (meta, I know). I also tried writing a book about dinosaurs and a pandemic, but then the actual pandemic happened and it got way too real. I’m currently working on a series of novellas called The Spiral Frontier that came out of working on a TTRPG of the same name. I’ll be releasing the first work in that series, JAC.AL, in early 2025, with the second novella following shortly therafter.

LilRPG Publishing Corp is an independent children’s publisher created by Mike Freeman and Josh Rottman, two lifelong friends and enterprising fathers who wanted to share the spirit of imagination they grew up with in a form their own children could hold in their hands. Instead of rulebooks or game systems, their work takes the familiar archetypes of fantasy; heroes, explorers, dreamers, protectors. It gently reshapes them into baby and early-childhood books meant for bedtime reading, nursery shelves, and family keepsakes. The company was born from the realization that the emptions of role-playing; courage, curiosity, friendship, and discovery, translate beautifully into stories for the very young when you strip away dice, statistics, and mechanics and leave only heart and wonder. Each book is designed to be warm, simple, and enduring: the kind of gift opened at a baby shower and rediscovered years later with a smile. Every title is dedicated to children who are part of their lives, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, the children of close friends, and even those friends who once adventured beside them and are now grown with families of their own. The dedications are a quiet through-line in the catalog, a reminder that these books are not products first, but personal offerings. LilRPG Publishing Corp exists to celebrate imagination at its earliest stages, giving families stories that feel timeless, playful, and sincere without ever needing a single rule or roll of the dice. Best, Josh and Mike

Robin, queer and disabled author from Italy, writes different books under different pen names. Xe uses Robin Jo Margaret for paranormal and monster romance and erotica, and R.J. Margaret for the human stories (both spicy and non). Xyr motivation comes from the readers who always reach out to share that they felt seen by xyr stories—and from a worrying amount of chocolate and tea.
