Bryce Charette

Published fantasy novelist and game designer focused on structure: character motivations, branching arcs, world rules, player-facing systems, and the documentation that keeps complex creative work coherent. Designer of 'Conflict Arena', an original tactical game with six distinct factions; paid lead writer for an independent comics studio; author of the Eternity's End trilogy. Comfortable taking a broad creative target, defining the beats and rules beneath it, and revising from feedback without losing tone or continuity.
