Who is Richard Dansky?

Richard "Rich" Dansky is a writer and a designer of both computer games and role-playing games. He is a former game developer for White Wolf, Inc. where he worked as developer on the Wraith: The Oblivion, Mind's Eye Theatre, Vampire: The Dark Ages, Kindred of the East, and Orpheus game lines. He is the author of over a hundred role-playing sourcebooks; he is also credited with creating the humorous t-shirt which reads "Don't Tell Me About Your Character", a reference to the habit many role-playing game enthusiasts have of talking at length about their player characters.
