Jaime Reyes Mondragón
Hi! I'm Jaime, a game designer, editor, and creative writer based in Mexico City. I've been working on TTRPGs and board games since 2019. I'm passionate about creating new worlds, stories, and engaging game mechanics.
Salutations!
I'm Jaime Reyes Mondragón, a Mexican game designer, writer, and editor focused on tabletop games, especially role-playing games. I'm also an undergraduate physicist and aspiring novelist.As a game designer, I love creating mechanics that reflect the stories they are meant to tell, from the heroic goofiness of a show I watched as a kid to the despair of a poor soul experiencing a horror movie in the flesh. As a writer, I'm passionate about world-building and writing stories involving characters with elusive intentions in which the players' decisions matter. As an editor, I enjoy helping the ideas and dreams of others shine all the brightest.Though less frequently, I also do book layouts and use my programming skills to translate board and role-playing games into VTT format.My journey started in 2019 when I joined Axo Stories, a small Mexican indie publishing co-op that aims to bring games from Latino and Global South people to the international market. Since then I've done freelance work for Paizo, Renegade, and Chaosium.In my free time, I like to learn about Mexican history, read sci-fi, fantasy, and crime novels, watch movies, and play video games.
