Author Details
Austin King is the Lead Editor of Game Features and News at Screen Rant. He also hosts the Dragon Quest FM podcast and is the author of several books, including co-writing Nimbus (a #1 bestseller in 2013). His latest is the nonfiction The Dragon Quest Book, available now. When he's not writing or playing video games, he's probably in a hammock somewhere, thinking about nothing, looking at the thin air, breathing up the oxygen.
Industry Focus
Austin writes mostly about RPGs and tabletop games, including topics like Dungeons & Dragons, Disney Lorcana, Pokémon, Dragon Quest, Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy, and Mork Borg, but he also loves to write about Lord of the Rings and high fantasy. He mostly writes features and reviews.
Favorite Media
Austin's favorite things are pretty much what he writes about. He especially loves Dragon Quest, Legends of Heroes/Kiseki, Pokémon, D&D, LOTR, JRPGS, and using acronyms for things.
