Noah Lloyd

After being eaten by a dragon in his first AD&D session at eight years old, Noah took an almost twenty-year hiatus from RPGs. Now he’s back, co-founding ReckoningOfTheDead.com, a website for Call of Cthulhu and other horror games, and freelancing as much as possible, while also working on a PhD. in literature. His goal for 2018 is to "Make more queer games," and his first RPG, "Firelight," will release later this year.
