Ingrid Wolfe
Writer
As a teenager, Ingrid Wolfe was requested to make an epic fantasy tale for her friends to experience through their tabletop gaming group. Having played exactly three times prior, the rough, poorly constructed, and often completely derailed story began to grow. Eventually, it became an entire world, full of cultures, adventures and characters... so many characters... that there just wasn't enough time to show everyone during a weekly game.
Over the next couple decades, this problem would continue to compound until Ingrid had to finally start putting them to paper so that there would be more room in her head for other things. Like the multitudes of computer passwords that everyone needs to memorize.
...Or drinking water.
