Introducing the Team


Stonehome Games Logo
Stonehome Games is a small, dedicated studio currently focused on building Dromaria, a world crafted for tabletop adventures. Right now, Chuck and Drew are the only ones on board full-time, pouring their energy into bringing everything to life. Other team members contribute their expertise when they can, balancing full-time careers and lives. Together we've managed to grow this shared vision across projects that span comics, a card game, and more.   If you are new here, welcome! We recommend checking this out before anything else: New? Start Here. We're excited you've arrived and look forward to talking with you about your time in Dromaria. Please join the chat on our Discord or hit us up on socials to join the discussion.

Drew
Drew is the mind behind Dromaria. The man who started it all at his kitchen table has now brought his vision online. A graduate of ISU with a degree in Publishing, Drew spent years working in kitchens across the US before setting out to start his own gaming company, Stonehome Games, with our good friend Mitch. Together they’ve created Renown: The Card Game, which will be available soon.   Over the last two years, Drew has built dromaria.com. Every aspect of the site is his achievement. He learned coding to bring his world into a free website for everyone to enjoy. What else even needs to be said? He has since self-published eight adventures and launched a comic book series "Kindred." Read the prologue free here!   His determination is the reason any of this is possible, and his love for all kinds of gaming keeps him going. Everything I know about TTRPGs and CCGs I learned from him and he’s been at it since his teens. Drew’s been playing TTRPGs since AD&D and has been GMing for as long.   For anyone interested in the personal side, he’s single, lives in the Pacific Northwest, and has a cat named Rukia, who is an absolute nuisance. Fun fact: years ago, we talked about investing in MTG, buying an RV, and touring the U.S. to sell and trade cards. We didn’t do that, but here we are, creating games together instead. Crazy how life turns out.

Chuck
Chuck was the first person to fully invest in Dromaria. Way back in my parent's dining room, he sat across the table looking back with belief in his eyes. He saw the events and the world as I did, happening in real-time. Over the years, he has shaped the world more than anyone, creating villains, characters, the Ember race, and more.   When the restaurant we worked at shut down, we decided to take Dromaria further. We’d already completed one comic, had another in progress. Chuck volunteered his time and became the official Steward of Dromaria, stepping up to collect, organize, and expand on the notes I’d been holding onto forever. He’s now cataloged our work and written the foundation for our next book, Dromaria: Path of the Ancestors.   Chuck is an evocative writer and the mastermind behind some of Dromaria’s most twisted ideas. As a world builder, he has a natural sense for knowing what goes where. As a collaborative partner, he listens, adapts, and always brings fresh ideas forward.   A lifelong gamer, Chuck is a big Final Fantasy fan and a dedicated follower of GDQ. With a grind mentality, he’ll get in, do the work, and see it through to the end, no matter what it takes. He’s married to a wonderful partner, who has also helped shape Dromaria. Shoutout to Becky!
