Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007. After two years of daily posts, I needed a break; that break might turn out to be permanent. In the meantime, I invite you to check out the hundreds of GMing articles in TT's archives, and to join our friendly, active GMing forums. If you're a longtime TT reader, thank you for your support. If you're new to the site, welcome -- there's plenty of GMing advice here to keep you busy! -- Martin

Martin Ralya’s Published Work

Hi, I’m Martin Ralya, and I’ve been a freelance writer for the RPG industry since 2004. My work has appeared in Dragon Magazine and in products from Goodman Games, Necromancer Games and Tabletop Adventures, among others.

I have experience writing both rules and descriptive text, and I’ve worked in a variety of genres. With 20 published credits and four projects awaiting publication (roughly 76,000 words in print), I’ve never missed a deadline.

If you’re interested in hiring me for a freelance project, or in seeing a sample of my writing, please contact me.
