Who we are

We're a diverse collective of TTRPG nerds drawn from the far corners of a distressing variety of fandoms. Telling stories through the medium of dice and diatribes is our way of honoring said fandoms - plus it’s cheaper than therapy.

Meet the Team

Sawyer Ziegelman

FOUNDER & HEAD WRITER
STORYTELLER IN “THE VAMPIRE WITH NO NAME”
he/him
The natural result of too many years bouncing between SoCal dustbowls and the internet. “Professional” GM for over three years, TTRPG nerd long before that. Approach tentatively, with the expectation that he might - without warning - burst into an unsolicited rant about the World of Darkness, ancient history, or alt-rock (or all three). Lives in Hong Kong with his amazingly talented wife Alex and comically large cat Sheol.
Tung Le

FOUNDER & DESIGN DIRECTOR
he/him
Tung is something resembling an illustrator/long suffering creative based out of the northern Illinois region, who stumbled into TTRPGs at a young age and has never been the same since. On an average day you can find him enjoying some cooking, jamming to incoherent music, or slaving away at his drawing tablet. He has a deep love for vampires, the esoteric, and devoting himself to an ever growing list of passion projects.

RESIDENT BUSINESS MAJOR
JEREMY REID IN “THE VAMPIRE WITH NO NAME”
he/him
What do you get when an avid reader grows up? They just keep finding new hobbies to devour. While daylighting as the general manager for an axe throwing bar you as likely to find him at a Warhammer table or VTM game as you are on the archery range where he spends several hours a week. When not gaming or LARPing you can find him on Twitch where he generally streams small developer games

Justen Jess

ASH CRAWFORD IN “THE VAMPIRE WITH NO NAME”
he/they
Justen knew they were in love with telling stories from the moment they were called to the principal's office for writing a murder mystery in a seventh grade English class. These days, it mostly propagates through fiction writing and playing RPGs. A writer and podcaster trying to survive their beloved hellhole of Silicon Valley, he co-hosts the Babylon Podject, a science fiction rewatch and discussion podcast, and has written about television, comics, and professional wrestling.
