Our Team

Different perspectives, united by a love for purposeful work, cinematic storytelling, and thoughtful design.

Kiko Alicea

A career Project Manager and Creative Director, Kiko left the government contracting world behind in 2025 to bring his creative writing expertise to the world of tabletop Roleplaying Games (ttRPGs). He loves to build robust, immersive, narrative-driven worlds and stories that leave players and DMs begging for more.

His entry into the TTRPG publishing space is the horror campaign setting Nightmares in Neverland launching on Kickstarter in the Spring of 2026!

When he isn’t world-building or playing DnD, Kiko loves spending time with his beautiful family, watching all the movies, and cheering on his Washington Commanders.

Joseph Valdez-Machuca

Joseph may hold degrees in Molecular & Cellular Biology and Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, but don’t let that turn you off. He uses this hyper-analytical mind to create beautifully balanced stat blocks and mechanics that bring Kiko’s fantastical narratives and creatures to life!

In his downtime, Joseph enjoys collecting X-Men comics and playing all the board games, TTRPGs, JRPGs, TCGs and any other “Gs” you can name.

Co-Owner | Senior Game Designer

Tim knows a little about a lot of things. With a background in Theater & Arts Administration, creativity is what drives him in every endeavor.

His first loves are music, all things Ghostbusters, the NY Yankees, and the NY Rangers. His passionate love affair with DnD started with the COVID pandemic as a weekly escape from the drama of the real world.

It seems dragons and dungeons are much less scary.
