Tim Rattray

Tim has written about games, anime, and beyond since 2009. His love of JRPGs traces back to late-90s get-togethers with cul-de-sac kids to battle and trade PokĆ©mon via link cables. In the early 2000s, this passion was solidified when Chrono Trigger changed his conception of what a game could be. A core focus of Timā€™s work is mental health advocacy with a focus on how interactivity can be used to depict and teach about mental illness. Heā€™s excited to share that insight with RPGFanā€™s readers, alongside a log full of side quests to explore the mutual passion we all share.
