Meet the Team

At It's Never Dark Enough— or 'INDE' (pronounced 'indie')— we are role-playing enthusiasts turned developers. Our love of nerd and internet culture, science fiction, punk genres, and horror color everything that we do. Our goal is to create unique tabletop experiences that are fun to play and speak to fans just like us. To put it simply, we want to create your most exciting nightmares.

Eira Brand

NKdotzip • Team Lead, Print Manager

Eira is in charge of all things media, be it the book layout, web design, or art direction. She leads the INDE team and works heavily with Tex and Conrad on crafting the lore of Shattered. In her spare time he is hard at work writing a sci-fi horror novel called "Run Like Hell."

Philip Barousse

Tex • Loreweaver, Backend Developer

Philip is a lore guru, self-taught programmer, and co-website designer for Shattered. He spends his spare time coming up with ideas for video games and scribbling notes about a future book series set in the Shattered universe.

James Palumbo

LostAbyss • Systems Expert, First of His Name

James was one of the first developers on Shattered. Early on he spent most of his time developing systems, before making the transition into editing as the project neared completion. In his spare time, he has been focusing on what is best in life, but he enjoys gaming of all kinds and follows a number of streamers on Twitch.

Cody Wiemholt

Pul • Math Guru

Cody is INDE's main statistician. He finds both joy and frustration running numbers and determining probability. His free time is currently spent working at all hours to make ends meet, but if he finds himself with free time away from work and INDE, he takes great pleasure in getting 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Cory Conrad

Conrad • Lead Editor, Resident Logophile

Conrad is a wanted editor in 17 countries for crimes against English. He was last sighted with his wife and child in Timbuktu, trading Polto cards for bus tickets to Russia. If you have any information on the whereabouts of this person, please contact INDE or the US Marshals.

Retired Staff

Alex Robb

Litharian • Systems, Lore, Idea Gun

Litharian— or Lith for short— is one of the number guru's of the Shattered system and brought much needed organizational skills to the team. He is currently working on a second project for Shattered, but don't tell anyone!
