Hi! I’m Deckard Manne, a writer, game & narrative designer from Cleveland, Ohio. In my free time I create and publish TTRPG content as Calibourne Studios, my solo indie company. I love building worlds and characters, designing complex gameplay systems, integrating narrative with mechanics, and working with teams or by myself to build polished projects that transport the player somewhere else.

You can reach me at deckardmanne@gmail.com for freelance and other professional opportunities. I have experience in game design, narrative design, copy editing, layout design, and creative writing. Thank you!
