As an 80s kid, Jason Bradwell grew up immersed in the world of Dungeons and Dragons and early RPGs on the Amiga A500, and Atari ST including Bard’s Tale, Phantasie, and Dungeon Master. His love for fantasy deepened when he used to go with his Dad Martin to his friend John who used to call the oracle. If we were stuck on a game, he helped us get by a puzzle or riddle in the game.

It was in the late 80’s when his dad bought him his first Dragonlance book as a Christmas present that caught his imagination. In his late teens, he began playing Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition weekly with his brother Craig and his friends, guided by an exceptional Dungeon Master, Wayne Fawcett, who has become a great friend.

After a 30-year hiatus, Jason rekindled his passion for Dungeons and Dragons with the 5th edition. Inspired by Bardic Quest on YouTube, hosted by Dungeon Master Wayne Ingram, he embraced the ‘theatre of the mind’ style of play, reminiscent of how he and his friends played 30 years ago.

This rekindled enthusiasm led to the creation of the book Riddlewood. Learning that Wayne had started a weekly D&D campaign of ‘Lost Mines’ through Discord and D&D Beyond, Jason joined, and the story of Riddlewood was born. What began as a short backstory for his character has evolved into a planned trilogy, set to explore the full tale of Riddlewood

and the continent of Arandor.
