Carmen
Carmen is a writer, editor and graphic designer who watches an insane amount of television and movies. In another universe, she hopes her counterpart doesn’t wear a red shirt, takes a cat on deep space voyages, and keeps an eye out for blue police call boxes. She’s married to a gamer and they’re living happily ever after with their two kids just outside of Mirkwood (also known as Washington, DC).

Jennifer C.
Jennifer is an over-educated graphic designer. When not doing work for OSS Games, she is toiling away in the graphics and marketing department of a giant multinational corporation. She lives in the model home from “Arrested Development” with her teenaged son and a slightly insane dog. In the inevitable OSS biopic, she will be portrayed by Dwight Schultz, because Mike said so.

Jennifer O’Neal
Jennifer still has not decided what she wants to be when she grows up. She may never figure that out, but she hopes someday to finish the YA post-apocalyptic road trip cycle she’s been working on for eight years—or at least to take the trans-global journey she’s put the characters through (whether the apocalypse comes or not). The one thing she’s sure of is that William Bell wasn’t wrong.
Favorite Games: Cribbage, Farkle
