Nic Reuben is secretly several Skaven in a trenchcoat that have somehow developed a predilection for weird fiction, onion bhajis, RPGs, FPS, Immersive Sims, FromSoftware titles and Strategy Games that tell emergent stories. You can find his games words all over the internet, but he still thinks RPS are the best because they once let him write multiple Final Fantasy 8 shitposts. He also writes weird TTRPG games on Itch under BackwoodsCartographer and occasional YouTube video essays as High Grade Ha.
