About Jason
J.L. Collins is a comic book writer, award-winning Actual Play Gamemaster and Producer, and a freelance tabletop roleplaying game designer and fiction author.
Based in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, Jason is a lifelong storyteller who cut his teeth on a steady diet of comic books, roleplaying games and sword and sorcery fiction.
Reading and playing stories quickly gave rise to a desire to write those stories too. Jason pursues his next project based on the emotions it stirs within him and the imagination it sparks in his mind.
Jason strives to live by the motto; “Create, don’t replicate… and remember, thinking is not doing.”
