Sean K. Reynolds is a professional game designer who has worked on and co-written a number of Dungeons & Dragons supplements for Wizards of the Coast (WotC), as well as material for other companies. He has also authored or coauthored many Greyhawk products and articles.

Early life and inspiration[edit | edit source]

Sean Reynolds was born in Chula Vista, California, and grew up there.[1] He was introduced to the Dungeons & Dragons game (with the red Basic Set and the blue Expert Set) in 1980 by his cousin, and soon began playing the AD&D game.[1]

Career[edit | edit source]

Reynolds first entered the roleplaying game industry in 1995, when he was hired by TSR as their online coordinator, beating out Bruce Cordell for the same position. When TSR was bought out by Wizards of the Coast in 1997, Reynolds became part of the WotC web team. Reynolds considers one of his greatest achievements of this time to be the fact that he got TSR/Wotc to relax its "draconian" online policy--enforcement of which in the past was the cause of much bad blood between the company and fans.[2] Reynolds also did some design work for the company during this period, writing RPGA adventures and contributing to Children of the Night: Ghosts.

By 1998, Reynolds had left his web position and was working full time for WotC as a designer as part of "Team Greyhawk," the creative team tasked with revitalizing TSR/WotC's oldest campaign setting.

Reynolds was laid off from WotC in 2002, and since has formed his own company, Sean K Reynolds Games. He continues to freelance, but has stated that he will "probably not" be writing any more books for WotC again, though he continues to write for the company's website.
