The Cryodon Crew
CEO & Production
Felix Irnich is storyteller, game developer and certified business guy. He started out as the founder of a successful gelato company and distillery, before finding himself in the creative space. D&D used to be his outlet to relax with friends, before it turned into a full-time job, thanks to his wife's success with her YouTube channel DingoDoodles.
Felix has since continued creating worlds in his D&D games, and handles most of the business- and production duties of Fool's Gold and Cryodon Games.
He also authored the Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds D&D supplement, which broke records on Kickstarter. His plan is to grow Fool's Gold into a larger team full of enthusiastic creators.
Art Direction
Jenna "Dingo" Woldenga is a storyteller, animator, illustrator, voice actress, and webcomic artist. She started the DingoDoodles YouTube channel in 2017 to tell stories from her life and friends. Eventually, she started retelling the story of the Fool's Gold D&D campaign she played with Felix and their friends, and nobody has really told her to stop yet, so here we are! Her animated videos have amassed millions of views and single-handedly made Fool's Gold into the success it is today.
Dingo is a master comedic storyteller and loves to get lost in her own worlds. She's inspired by some of her favorite shows like Avatar: The last Airbender, Inuyasha, and Futurama, and she won't stop until she makes an animated TV show worthy of standing beside her inspirations.
Art & Character Design
Avery is an illustrator, character designer, comic artist, and dinosaur enthusiast. She began her D&D hobby after meeting Dingo and Felix in college and went on to play Gothi in the first Fool’s Gold game.
Years later, she evolved from designing the looks of the Fool’s Gold crew at the table in her notebook, to becoming the lead artist for the Fool’s Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds D&D supplement. Now she is a full-time illustrator with the team, following the fun into the next projects. In her spare time Avery pursues her comic passion by working on her webcomic Vamps.
Art & Animation
Melina is an animator, character designer, storyteller, and professional hype-woman. After escaping three different degree programs, she pursued a Bachelor of animation at Sheridan College, throughout which she consumed far too much D&D related content. She began to spin her obsession into a career: First as an independent illustrator, then as an animator at Dropout TV, and now as an animator and designer at Cryodon Games.
Inspired by stories of whimsy and fantasy, Melina is devoted to sharing in the vision of those around her, and most importantly, to tell stories that she wished to have seen growing up.
Writing
"He write words real good"
Years of passenger-seat daydreaming and wishful fantasies dragged Jordan into the world of tabletop roleplaying and writing. When he's not busy tormenting his players (characters), he GMs games with incredible political plots and twists that make our heads spin with intrigue.
Jordan has dipped his toes into all sorts of creative ventures, like musical theater, sound design, and directing, and has ultimately discovered writing as his favorite medium. He brings a delightful touch of over-the-top chaos into our stories, and we can't wait what he comes up with next!
And of course a huge shoutout to our community moderators and supporters!
