About Me

Tim Mack writes Dungeons & Dragons one-shots — self-contained adventures built for a single night at the table. Before the dice, there was a different kind of show: he founded and ran a small circus in Atlanta, Georgia, which taught him most of what he knows about pacing, spectacle, and getting an audience to lean in. These days he travels constantly, and publishes under the Anvil & Ink imprint, where the goal is simple — give a DM everything they need to run a great session without weeks of prep.

Anvil & Ink is an independent publisher of tabletop RPG supplements and LitRPG fiction, founded by author and game designer Tim Mack. The imprint pairs a game-design sensibility with genre storytelling — Legend of the Dungeon Core Landlord is its flagship LitRPG series, mixing dungeon-core progression with deadpan workplace comedy. Books One, Two, and Three are all available now, with the series ongoing; this review covers Book One. Anvil & Ink publishes across Amazon, Payhip, and its own storefront.
