Ryan Eck embodies multiple dualities—between practical fighting and traditional martial arts, and between those physical pursuits and the traditionally nerdy realms of D&D and tabletop gaming. Drawing from thirty years in dojos and training halls, this college wrestler turned Aikido black belt understands the gap between what some martial arts promise and what actually works. His novels Star Knight's Squire and Power Level Irrelevant emerge from this unique intersection of combat experience and imaginative storytelling around the gaming table. Rather than typical uplift narratives or comfortable martial arts myths, Eck explores what happens when warriors discover authentic capability or find their true spiritual home. His work bridges the seemingly disparate worlds of physical violence and collaborative imagination, proving that both gaming tables and training halls teach hard truths about honor, belonging, and what actually matters when everything is on the line. As Eck puts it: "The rest is just physics with consequences."
