About Tallis Spalding

Tallis is an avid gamer and writer, often mingling the two together. She has worked in the freelance writing field for a year and is constantly looking to improve, striving to put out the best work possible. She enjoys exploring the small details and worldbuilding of the various games she plays, with this passion only fueled by her work in an MA History program.

Tallis has played tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons for six years and has been the GM for many different one-shots and short campaigns. She is always eager to try out different TTRPGs and see what they have to offer. 

She enjoys indie video games and AAA video games alike, though she often finds herself indulging in the former. Currently, her top five games are Hollow Knight, Hades, Persona 5, the Witcher 3, and Nier: Replicant. At the moment she is looking forward to the release of Crowsworn and Hades II.
