Not just into game design, Stephan is also a former personal trainer and fitness instructor, and maintains his ideal of working out to be able to do some of the things that his characters can do.
roach is the world builder for 13th Moon Games. She got a late start to TTRPGs in college, but her love for roleplay blossomed when she joined a World of Darkness LARP. She loves building exciting new settings for players to explore.
About 13th Moon Games
Established in 2023, 13th Moon Games originated on Thanksgiving of 2021 when roach asked Stephan if he wanted to take their relationship to the next level by writing a tabletop role-playing game together. The motivation, for roach, was to create a game that she could run for Stephan, a forever DM.
The two of them worked on creating Coven & Crucible, spending all of 2022 running playtests and honing the game. They launched Coven & Crucible with a successful Kickstarter in January of 2023, which led to not only the creation of a TTRPG of modern witchcraft and magic but the birth of 13th Moon Games.
