About AAE

Arcadian Alchemy Entertainment is my childhood dreams come true.

Hello there! My name is J. Payne and this is AAE!
I’ve been a gamer my entire life. Starting on the NES, graduating into Warhammer and CCGs by middle school, then going full vidya and ttrpg by high school. After high school, I became more involved with video games, and live action role play. My love for the gaming community really flourished when some people I met in MAG got together and formed a guild. It quickly grew into one of the largest communities I’ve ever been a part of.
Unfortunately, that’s where things began to take a turn for the worse. I was quickly overtaken by an addition to pain killers, and soon left me destitute. Without much to my name, I had 100% slipped through the cracks.
That’s when a friend I didn’t know I had, came and gave me a helping hand to get back on my feet. With her help, I soon met my now wife. We then found Christ and was saved. After almost 10 years of addiction, I was ready to take the world on again. With all of my newfound support, I founded Arcadian Alchemy Entertainment in 2020. Work began on turning my stacks of notebooks of ideas into real games. I can’t wait to share all of my games with all of you. There’s something in those notebooks for everyone!
