Bio:

Luke Miller is a writer, game designer, and software developer who lives in sunny California with his fiancé Roman and their two corgis, Luna and Sol. He has had a lifelong passion for fantasy and science fiction, and has recently discovered a love for tabletop roleplaying games.

After exploring the world of TTRPG’s as a player and game master, Luke was struck by the game design bug and quickly jumped into the creation of his first game: Journey. Through this process, he learned many lessons on what to do… and, more importantly, what not to do.

In addition to designing his next games, Luke is writing content on the Graycastle Press Journal where he talks about running tabletop roleplaying games, concepts in game design, writing fiction, and more.
