Hi, I’m Fiona Shade! I’m an award-winning poet, a former sociodrama professional, and a lifelong gamer.

At a sliding scale, I provide freelance editing and sensitivity reading for independent creators. For an example and reference, I provide both for this project. If you would like content editing, rules editing, or writing support, reach out on Discord or at fionashadestories@gmail.com.

My first Kickstarter project, the Adventure College Student Handbook, comes out soon on drivethrurpg.com. Additionally, it will be the focus of a liveplay series hosted on my Twitch! Adventure College pokes fun at both the college experience in real life and the adventuring career in games like Dungeons n Dragons. In its magicpunk setting, arcana and artifice mix together. In the frontier nation of Toferrin, a strange university trains would-be heroes. The booklet provides 5e compatible races, backgrounds, loot, and lore.

When I’m not writing or streaming, I love to collect crystals from mining dumpsites, read science fiction, and set my stuffed animals up in cute dioramas. My favorite games include Marvel Snap, Baldur’s Gate 3, and the Mass Effect series.
