Nic Rago
I'm Nic Rago.
I'm from the Bay Area, California. I'm currently getting my masters in creative writing at Dartmouth.
Below is the stuff I do, check it out.
UDDER TIMES
Check out Udder Times.
I'm the editor-in-chief of this digital magazine. It's focused on showcasing people's interests, purposes, and their silly fascinations which give life meaning!
FICTION
I have two short stories published, What the Old Say and Mill Town. They explore life, heritage, loss, and meaning. They're both magical realism, a genre I've been writing for a few years.
Sediment, a novel I've been writing, follows a pair of characters across the continental US as they drift temporally through the bleakest and brightest moments of US history -- a mix between historical fiction and magical realism. My newest draft is being written in tandem with my studies at Dartmouth. Below is the map of their route.
WORLD + GAME BUILDING
I play a lot of D&D. Right now, I'm running a homebrewed city building campaign. Currently, this is the party's settlement.
This campaign is set in an equally homebrewed world.
For D&D 5e, I've also designed combat mechanics for large scale battles (with armies and such). These, I'll say, need more playtesting and tuning.
