A Family Affair
What do you get when you take a bossy writer, a talented artist who also happens to be a writer, and a theory crafting dweeb? The makings of a small-time publisher in the TTRPG industry, apparently.
Twilight Tabletop, LLC is the product of collaboration among family members (which has miraculously been working out so far), all of whom share a love of writing, creating, molding, and birthing fantastic stories, artwork, and other content ripe for your TTRPG. All of us are lifetime gamers, with particular love for fantasy, steampunk, and other related sub-genres. Two of us, Ashleigh Hensch and Nickolas Balog, have been game mastering for our respective groups for over a decade, and Darcien Balog has been an ardent student while enjoying the ride. We credit our abilities and the fact that we haven’t devolved to flagitious insults and promises to disinherit to our faith in God, the only power on earth who could actually make this work. |
Ashleigh HenschChief Productions OfficerOnce upon a time, Ashleigh Hensch rode the eddies of the “working world”, drifting from fast food, to slow food, to Taekwondo instructor, to retail associate, then along the turbulent rapids to retail manager, before falling over the waterfall into emergency management for her county/city. Along the way, she learned a very valuable lesson: she had no business harassing her employers as much as she did. Her working career lay within the self-employed, where she could ensure a modicum of competency without risking her job by brazenly pointing out shortcomings in her bosses’ plans. And, as a forever GM with over a decade of experience, she had a good idea where to find that kind of career.
With a bachelor’s degree in English under her aforementioned black belt, and a hard-working husband by her side to support her self-employed machinations, Ashleigh works from home in a small Texas town while wrangling her two young sons, learning how to homestead, and still finding time to torment her regular group of players. |
Nickolas BalogChief Financial OfficerBorn last in a long line of greatness, Nickolas Balog has risen through the ranks of his siblings to become the CFO of Twilight Tabletop Games, LLC. A promising youth, Nickolas has an aptitude for ensuring his bank account has funds and his bills are paid without actually working. This, in large part, is why his sister (Ashleigh Hensch) and mother (Darcien Balog) put up with his sassy britches to help run the company. When not acquiring wealth through passive investments or ignoring his sister’s text messages, Nickolas can be found fondly remembering his days in the U.S. Army, of which he is a veteran.
Perhaps the most redeeming quality of Nickolas is his wife, Brittany, whom he met while game mastering and playing DnD with his group of wanton online friends. His dog, Rocket, is also very cool and very fluffy and 10/10 could replace Nickolas in a heartbeat. |
