PORTFOLIO
I have been designing, writing, and editing tabletop roleplaying games for 5 years. I tell messy, complex stories about messy, complex people. My strong sense of narrative, my compelling exposition, and my immersive storytelling style set me apart. I work full time at Hit Point Press and am available for freelance projects. Samples available on request.
If you’d like to collaborate with me, send me an email at sebastian@sebastianyue.ca, or use my contact form.
