Ryan is the product of over 5 million years of evolution, culminating in a sort of strange hairless ape that walks on two legs. When not coping with the curse of human sentience you can find Ryan as a perennial panelist on the Late Night Pomes Radio podcast or moonlighting as the Tavern Wizard, author of Tipples N Taverns, the cheap, portable, and completely hand-made RPG zine that you can buy at tipplesntaverns.com.
