alex ✺ THEY/THEM ✺

  • Alex is a Shadowrun fanatic, footsoldier of the Moé revolution, and celebrator of cute things for everyone. Growing up in the middle of nowhere, Alex didn’t have a friendly local game store to call home so Alex started, led, and operated the local high school’s Dungeons and Dragons club. Later, Alex traveled both the US and the world, and everywhere Alex went the first thing Alex would do is visit the local game store. Alex is prone to falling down the wiki well and makes spreadsheets for fun.
