Jason D. Brandon
The Slightly Less Creative Director
Jason was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. He started role-playing in 1980, his halfling thief dying almost immediately and has loved RPGs ever since. He is a certified registered locksmith, a former linguistics professor, and serves as lead pastor for a church in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Short version: Jason is a thief-priest with language proficiency.
Alicia Lee
Director, RuleMaster
Spawning from eccentric New England, Alicia has background studies in mental health and a long history of small business management ranging from retail and gaming to the sewing arts, to quirky shops, and into the tourism industry where she currently works. She fell in love with TTRPGs ever since playing her first D&D game as a teen, and became the local Storyteller and LARP organizer for Vampire: the Masquerade when World of Darkness stole her heart. Her interests include gaming of all sorts, hiking to mountain waterfalls, creative exploring, and laughing with friends.
Kelly Williams
Chief Operations Officer
Kelly is a native of Texas but currently hails from Bavaria, Germany. Kelly is a combat veteran with The United States Army, a Husband, and a Father. Kelly has been playing D&D since he was able to throw dice, when dinosaurs roamed the earth in the late 1980s. You can often find Kelly behind his podcasting mic, running the very exciting "Crumpets and Kerosene" podcast by MRE Entertainment.
Christian Luetkemeyer
Chief Financial Officer
Christian lives near Charlotte, NC, and has played D&D since the original D&D Red Box and White Wolf since his first LARP game in high school. By day, he's a business consultant for a global tech firm, but he's an owner of a game store in Collinsville, IL, by night.
