Tyler Edwards is a lifelong gamer, freelance writer, and occasional game designer living in Toronto, Canada. Here at MOP, he is the main contributor for the Not-So-Massively and Vitae Aeternum columns. He's fascinated by the potential of video games as a story-telling medium, and quickly loses interest in most games that can't engage him on that level. He loves Elves as much as Justin hates them.
