Lori's career has focused on both education and design, finally landing on game development as the ideal mix of both. Serving as a nexus of ideas, trivia, and people, Lori delights in  making new connections, seeing patterns, and clarifying problems to set up solutions. Previously, she taught English and writing at both the K12 and college level alongside a career of freelance work in print layout, graphic design, marketing, and digital advertising. She enjoys playing tabletop games with strong exploration mechanics, character leveling, or card/dice drafting. Online, you'll probably find her replaying The Witcher 3 until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out.  Contact Lori

Jesse James is a composer and game developer based in Atlanta. When he's not creating commissioned works or directing an orchestral recording for a AAA video game score, Jesse is likely jotting down ideas for his next tabletop RPG session. Recently, he united his professional interests in music and tabletop gaming to create ambient music tracks to accompany the Fragged Empire tabletop universe (listen on YouTube).  View Portfolio. With a deep love of tabletop gaming, Jesse focuses on creating a welcoming environment for all types of players and works hard to explain rules clearly without weighing down players with too much information too early. Recent favorite tabletop games include Concordia, Railroad Ink, Condotierre, Jaipur, Archipelago, The Fox in the Forest, and Azul. Jesse regularly runs tabletop RPG sessions using systems from Dungeon World, Blades in the Dark, and Spire, besides collecting a variety of TTRPG manuals.
