Howdy!

I’m Ryan Macklin, a 34 year old RPG writer, designer, developer, and editor in Seattle, Washington. You may also know me as Ryan Fucking Macklin From The Internet. This blog is where I talk about the creative process, being a freelancer and creative professional in general, and various game ideas.

I’m an editor for Paizo Publishing[1], working on various Pathfinder products. You may also be familiar with my work for other companies.

• Evil Hat Productions as a writer, designer, developer, and editor: Don’t Lose Your Mind, A Penny For My Thoughts, the Dresden Files RPG, Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, and Fate Core.
• Margaret Weis Productions as a writer and editor: Leverage RPG (and some supplements) and Cortex Plus Hacker’s Guide.
• As a podcaster: Master Plan, The Voice of the Revolution, and This Just In…From Gen Con
• And various indie folks, as well as make my own indie games occasionally (including the acclaimed Mythender Roleplaying Game).

I have a host of awards and nominations, which I’m pretty damned proud of.
