Rick Priestley - Games Workshop Product Development Director

Among fantasy gamers, Rick is a myth, pixie or possibly a fairy story. He joined Games Workshop in 1982 and founded the Games Workshop Design Studio. As a designer he co-wrote and produced the original set of tabletop fantasy battle rules - Reaper (1979) - and then Warhammer (1982).

Warhammer has since mutated through numerous editions and supplements - spawning a complete role-play system, computer games, a fiction imprint and a spectacularly unsuccessful record company. In 1987, he unexpectedly fathered Warhammer 40,000 (1987) upon an innocent public - the game has gone on to become the benchmark in tabletop Sci-Fi wargaming with enthusiasts in every part of the globe. In between, he has written, produced and forgotten a huge number of games and supplements. He currently holds the position of Product Development Director for Games Workshop Group.

Rick's ambition for Warhammer Online is to finally see a game that is the bastard offspring of the union of Carry On and Monty Python: "Warhammer was always a cheerful melange of the serious and absurd and so the list of sources that have inspired Warhammer is always going to be eclectic. The obvious candidates are Tolkien, Robert E Howard (et al), and Michael Moorcock - solid fantasy fare for the time. Less obvious perhaps - Shakespeare, Milton and William Blake - truly no source is sacred. If the ingredients seem overly credible then the secret must be in the blending - the radio show I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, TV's Monty Python - and the Python films, the Carry On movies, and (as if I should forget) Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns."
