Kelly Pawlik

Kelly Pawlik gave into her husband’s requests to play TTRPGs after their second child was born in 2012, and hasn’t looked back. Since then she has played nearly a dozen different systems and prefers games that focus on romance, drama, and adventure; she’s an avid proponent of duet gaming. She is co-owner of Dire Rugrat Publishing, a micro publisher focusing on Fifth Edition D&D supplements. In addition to self-publishing and writing for Kobold Press, Kelly has worked for several indie RPG publishing companies over the years. Her childhood dream was to be a writer, and Kelly has branched out into fiction with her middle grade series Olympic Vista Chronicles (previously known as Legends of The Link). She loves RPGs because they can make any dream a reality. Kelly can find a Taylor Swift song that fits any game session.
