J D FratiniJulian was born, raised, and lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He grew up playing video games from the Sega Mega Drive era, and fondly remembers attending LAN parties with friends during the days when one of the fastest internet connections in Austalia was the "glorious" 256K ADSL. His favourite movie series since childhood has always been Alien, but in high school he discovered a love for Japanese anime. This obsession continued into his university years, where he wrote and posted Naruto fanfiction in his spare time. Julian's passion for advanced board games and tabletop RPGs (particularly Dungeons & Dragons) grew as he began his career in IT. This series is his personal love letter to the hobbies that have shaped him, and he hopes to share the same fun and enjoyment with his readers that he found in writing it. Read More Read Less
