Alexandra Pitchford is a writer and game designer that has worked on material for Shadowrun and Vampire the Masquerade, as well as original Sci-Fi and Fantasy fiction. She lives in Australia with her partner, three cats, and WAY too many plastic miniatures.

Anna Velilla is a writer, copyeditor, and larp designer and organizer. She has written and produced several plays, unpublished novels, and a handful of chamber larps. She's worked in book publishing for the last three years and has gotten increasingly involved in larp organizing since attending her first larp in October of 2024. She intends to run her first multi-day game in the summer of 2026, shortly after facilitating her first blockbuster (Conscience USA).

Charles Ashe writes horror, drama, science fiction and fantasy, including the novels "Spiral" and "The Devil's Hourglass." He has been a gamer most of his life, focusing on Vampire/The Old World of Darkness and Battletech. He also co-founded the Abyss Stage & Screen in Florida, which just wrapped production on its first film.

Alexis Starmer Dyer is a former Graphic Designer, starting over to follow her passion as a writer. She is devoted to the future of what can be. With two bachelor’s degrees, this project is her first entry into the professional field of writing and game building.

​

Alexis lives in Colorado, where if you don’t like the weather, all you need do is wait a few hours. She brings a husband, daughter, and two puppies for the ride. Just don't ask her to drive. She uses a broom since her daughter took the car.

Anastasia is terrible when it comes to talking about herself, and as the most introverted introvert (who can do one hell of an impersonation as an extrovert as needed), she could happily spend the rest of her life as a hermitess puttering around in her garden, with her books and video games for company. Alas, that life doesn't pay the bills, so you can find her working for clients as a copywriter, editor, and proofreader, assisting with online course creation, and handling social media management (along with a smattering of other tasks). She and her mother and two sisters also have a small Etsy shop selling jewelry.

​

*Mooney Note* Anastasia is an awesome person, is incredibly well organized, and a key player of the team. It's been great getting to know you better as we worked with each other!
