About the Welsh Piper
The author, playtesting Chimera

My name’s Erin—thanks for visiting The Welsh Piper. I started this site to help RPG players and game masters make the best use of their available gaming time, which always seems too short.

I cut my roleplaying teeth on the Moldvay Basic D&D boxed set in the early ’80s. It’s far less complex than today’s D&D, but after more than 25 years of playing, designing, and writing RPG systems, its “rules-lite” approach continues to have appeal. For the busy gamer, who (like me) needs to balance the hobby with the real life responsibilities of family, work, and school, “rules-lite” is the way to go. The Welsh Piper shares what I’ve learned so you can spend less time preparing for your game and more time playing it.

I hope you find something here that you can use in your own game. If you have questions or suggestions, please add your comments, or contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
