About the author

Hello! I’m Alex, half of the team Goof and Grump. The best way to grow is to do the thing, so here I am writing to hone my focus. I love discovering new ways to experience gaming and absorbing and reconstituting interesting mechanics that help us tell our stories at the table. My goal is to delve into awesome things and help or inspire others along the way.
