About The Author

Tiffany Reynolds

Hi, all. I hope you enjoy what I write. Though I have been gaming since I was 9 I did not write my first article until I was 29ish for the now defunct magazine Polymancer. In the 2010s, I ran a PC focused blog, called the Other Side of the Table, and later published an anthology under the same name. I hope to continue providing advice for making and running PCs. 🏳️‍⚧️🖤🩶🤍💜
