The Origins of Alkemion Studio
I love brainstorming new scenarios, sourcebooks or backstories. Starting with a blank page, setting some constraints, adding random pieces, finding connections, and pulling the thread until something cool emerges. This process is one of my favorite parts of practicing RPGs. It can almost be a game in itself. After all, solo roleplaying is built upon this brainstorming and writing feedback loop.

Character Backstories as Plot Points
Integrating character backstories into the heart of our scenarios or campaigns is a subtle but particularly powerful tool in the GM’s arsenal. It’s one that I’m particularly fond of. When used properly, this technique offers two benefits: it deepens the link between the players and the story, and it enriches the universe of your games with personal issues.

The Original Multiclassers: Historical Professions with Unexpected Pairings
A few weeks ago, I found myself diving into the rich history of glovemakers’ and perfumers’ guilds for a writing project completely outside the TTRPG sphere. Immersing myself in the world of these medieval craftsmen who not only made gloves but also concocted fragrances to scent them, I became very interested in this unique blend of professions. Shortly afterwards, I was shown a Dutch painting of a barber-surgeon at work. Coming across this new and unusual combination of professions inspired me to research other interesting historical job pairings.
