Duchess Pumpkin L. Whipplebottom, Heiress to the Whipplebottom Estate.
I’m Pumpkin, the ruler and overlord of Armen-Legg Games, Ltd. I mainly yell at Kel and the others for attention, disparage them in my native tongue, and demand lap cuddles with Two Hand Petting for hours on end. I prefer this to occur during major edits, revisions, and especially during periods of layout design.
I have a long list of various crimes committed, ranging from jumping onto the forbidden tabletop to grand larceny (theft of dice). I hold no remorse, and as the judge of the feline legal system in the Armen-Legg Games, Ltd. workspaces have consistently found myself not legally culpable for any production delays I may cause.
Because I am Orange, Loud, and Cute.
Kyle ‘Kel’ Elsasser
I’m Kel, the Creative Director, CEO, and primary financial investor of Armen-Legg Games, Ltd. I have been playing all sorts of TTRPGs for nearly 28 years, am a joyful worldbuilder, a ‘Tulpa‘ gamemaster, and love introducing new people to the joys and absurdities of tabletop gaming with friends, old and new!
I’m the creator of Eiras, the default world setting for The Ballad of Heroes TTRPG and the primary formal writer of rules and mechanics.
I have an MS in Atomic Physics with secondary degree in Mathematics because I got lost on the way to my first English fiction writing course. By the time I realized my mistake I was half-way through my post-secondary degree and knee-deep in neutron stars.
Feel free to yell at me for my poor social media consistency on Bluesky (below). I had removed myself from nearly all social media due to lack of interest, and have been slowly re-integrating into the void.
Mr. Armen and Ms. Legg
Mr. Armen and Ms. Legg are the private ‘Backrooms’ members of Armen-Legg Games, LTD.
They have requested honorary title names (Mr. Armen and Ms. Legg, respectively) as they are uninterested in being promoted in social media directly.
Mr. Armen is: A TTRPG player, often taking the role of Gamesmaster with a knack and preference for strong mechanical focus and numeric optimizations. They review and ‘white-room’ evaluate gameplay mechanics to both see if/how they break, and whether a set of mechanics is cohesive to the whole ruleset and setting.
Ms. Legg is: A TTRPG player, occasionally taking the role of Gamesmaster, with paralegal, typesetting, and graphic design experience. They do very little in the game design side of things, but instead help write and evaluate contracts to keep Kel from paying over $2000 USD for a misspelled company Logo Design. Again. They have also cheerfully provided invaluable insights and assistance in page layouts, book layouts, and other design element efforts to ensure comfort and readability to all Armen-Legg Games products.
