She works for the the indie RPG company Faster Monkey Games and still can’t quite get used to the idea that people will pay her money to read gaming material. She also thinks it’s a fun game to see if you can spot the typo in this bio.

Koji Nishiuchi has been writing gobs of homebrew content for roleplaying games ever since he was appalled by the idea that a rogue was unable to get bonus damage for headshotting zombies, going on to make Fate hacks for everything from giant monsters that fit in little balls to quirky ghost children to fruit-powered pirates to supernatural heists masterminded by vampires. It’s only now that he’s gotten the chance to pester people with it on a larger scale.
