Lewis Colburn is an artist and educator based in Philadelphia. After 20 years away from RPGs, he fell back into the vortex during the early days of the pandemic. Now he’s happily spinning further into the maelstrom, beyond just playing and running games, into writing, editing, and madly painting tiny goblins.

Joe Keinberger's work is largely influenced by mythology, folklore, classic horror films and an appreciation for the dark and macabre that can only be instilled by growing up through many a New England autumn. He uses a variety of media and techniques in his pieces, resulting in explorations of textural surface involving drawing, painting, sanding, scratching and carving. He presents these ghosts, demons and devils as they are: complicated beings with secrets to hide and protect, and histories forged in chains that bind them to the melancholy of the mortal world.

Max Moon creates objects and text at the meeting place of play and magical thinking.

Regardless of media, their work seeks to erode the rational mind fertilizing it for imaginative play.

Arik Moonhawk Roper attended the School of Visual Arts in New York from 1991-1995 specializing in cartooning, illustration, and screen printing. He began his early career primarily working with bands creating album art for cds and records for which he developed a devoted following. He soon moved into storyboarding for commercial and ad agencies, then onward into animation design, book and magazine illustration, visual design for music industry artists, and art direction for creative groups and game companies. Roper’s work encompasses a diverse field of design and distinct style, ranging from black and white illustration, to meticulous lettering and logo design, to rich abstract psychedelic color and landscapes that often seem to exist in their own universe. The imagery springs from the depths of a fertile imagination, invoking psychedelic visions, ancient dreams, and idyllic natural environments. With an interest in mythology, consciousness, psychology, religion and other timeless subjects, Roper mixes the light and the dark within his art to reveal imagery which is at once strangely unique, distantly familiar and always soaked with an earnestly fantastic aesthetic.
