Ryan's face

Hello

Depending on which hat I am wearing at the time, you may know me as Ryan, ComradeBubbles or the Moonlit Bard. No matter which guise I appear as, I am committed to building inclusive communities and telling great stories, or providing the tools required for other people to tell even better stories.If you want to help fund my work, please consider supporting me on Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/moonlitbard

As a freelance writer, I've had the privilege of working with several companies on their products.

Independent and Community Content Work

I can be found across a lot of the internet.As Ryan, I'm an awkward person on the internet. My work, as myself, was focused on That's How We Roll, a personal blog where I wrote about the TTRPG hobby, uploaded hobby-related fiction, and provided inspirational locations for use in your tabletop games. This project has rather fallen by the wayside but I mean to update it infrequently when I can. Any TTRPG material I write is released under my own name and my work on various projects, both as sole author and as contributor, can be seen below.
Finally, I am a trained proofreader/editor and have worked freelance as such with Proofed, Inc. for the past few years when I have had the time.The following product images are buttons that will take you to the product.
I have indicated which websites each product can be found on and provided links to the relevant page; simply click on the underlined webstore of your choice.

As Comrade Bubbles, I am a variety Affiliate streamer on my personal Twitch channel, where I occasionally stream TTRPG content amidst a wide variety of video games. I stream bi-weekly on the Onyx Path's Twitch channel where I, as a fan of their games and not an official representative, demonstrate how to write community content for their games.As the Moonlit Bard, I offer paid GMing services (for both adults and children) for a wide variety of games, as one-shots or campaigns, as well as run a Ko-fi to fund the writing of a D&D 5th Edition OGL-compatible campaign guide among other things. Said guide, as well as several original games I have in the works, will eventually be sold through my itch.io page.

About Me

What's to say really? I'm a genderfluid pansexual who uses they/them pronouns and wants to make the world a better place. My talents, such as they are, lend themselves to words and the imagination so I seek to entertain and lift the spirits of those around me through my work. I deal with enough mental health issues of my own to know how dark the world can be sometimes and I do everything I can to be transparent about my own struggles and to help others with theirs.
Also, I really, REALLY like writing material for roleplaying games. Like, you don't understand how fun I find it.
