Meet The Team
Spencer Stevenson
Hey it's me. I'm Spencer, The Founder of Stevenson Games, Creator and Cowriter of Super: a ttrpg and Game Master of The Misadventure Contingency: Ascension. I have been playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games since I was 10 years old and board games since as long as I can remember. I, like many players, started with Dungeons and Dragons and my love grew from there. But it wasn't until my friend Ian showed me G.U.R.P.S. (The Generic Universal Roleplaying System) in high school that I realized the full potential of ttrpgs and game systems in general.
Marty (the party) Robinson AKA Rimbert Timbert
Marty is childhood friends with (and surrogate younger brother of) Spencer and relatively new to tabletop roleplaying games, playing for the first time in a Dungeons and Dragons Western Fantasy game where the players traveled to a new dimension and tried to form a community. In a lot of ways that campaign inspired the themes of The Misadventure Contingency: Ascension. Marty's character was a theater enthusiast called "Duck" who immediately made a deal with an indifferent deity known as The Composer.
Marty was recruited to this project as he is one of my favorite improv comedy partners as well as a roleplaying wildcard that always keeps me on my toes by skirting the line between hero and guy doing whatever comes into his mind first.
