Meet your maker!
Well…the maker of the game at least. Far less impressive than THE Maker.
My name is Matt Werner.
In a beautiful way, my story is ordinary.
I’m a dad with young children and a job I love. I also happen to be an experienced dungeon master for a group of friends; however, I’ve always struggled to find a roleplaying game (RPG) system for my family. My kids adore The Wingfeather Saga. The books by Andrew Peterson transported us to wondrous places, and the animated series on Angel Studios only gave more enthusiasm for the people and places of this mysterious land of Aerwiar. And there it was! A perfect setting for a family-friendly RPG. I made a little system for the setting that my friends loved, and I wondered if “the Wingfeather people” might be interested in the game. And they were!
And this is what I love about this brand. They are able to embrace the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of ordinary people, looking to make something beautiful. As a multidecade fan of Andrew Peterson, this whole thing felt like an insane ordination of events to lead to this creation.
That job I said I love, is that of a pastor.
I lead a lovely church in Dripping Springs, Texas. So, entering this creative space with a brand like The Wingfeather Saga was the perfect opportunity for this odd father/pastor/dungeon master mashup.
