Astrid Bellweather

Game designer, homebrew architect, and professional heretic. Astrid covers experimental play — alternative initiative systems, classless D&D hacks, narrative mechanics bolted onto 5e's chassis — with the zeal of someone who thinks the PHB is a starting point, not a bible. She once published a homebrew subclass so unbalanced it crashed a one-shot, and she considers this a success because 'at least people felt something.'
