Jon Langdale
Jon Langdale is a creative facilitator who takes inspiration from local folklore and history to deliver bespoke youth-led projects with world-building at their heart.
He designed Questing Buddies as an accessible way for young people to start getting into the hobby, or try it and see if they like it. Borrowing from traditional role playing games, Jon’s focus for his new original game was communication, inclusion and creativity without complex rules or backstory.
