Reynolds is an American professional game designer, who has worked on and co-written a number of D&D supplements for Wizards of the Coast, as well as material for other companies. Early life and inspirationSean 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] TSR and Wizards of the CoastReynolds began working for Time Warner Interactive in 1994, to develop their America Online and websites.[1] Reynolds first entered the role-playing game industry in 1995, when he was hired by TSR as their online coordinator,[1] beating out Bruce Cordell for the same position.[5] According to Reynolds, "I had two goals: to get TSR a website, and to change the company's then-restrictive online policy to something more reasonable."[1] When TSR was bought out by Wizards of the Coast, Reynolds moved to Washington and worked on Wizards' pre-existing website.[1] 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] Wizards of the Coast had a much more open online policy, so Reynolds applied for a job in the company's R&D division as a game designer. He designed such products as The Scarlet Brotherhood for AD&D, Beyond Science: A Guide to FX for the Alternity game, and The Green Goblin's Guide to Crime for the Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game.[1] Reynolds also did some design work such as writing RPGA adventures and contributing to Children of the Night: Ghosts.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} 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 also contributed to the 3rd edition D&D Monster Manual, introducing some new creatures such as the krenshar.[1] After Wizards of the CoastReynolds was laid off from WotC in 2002,{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} and afterwards formed his own self-publishing company, "Sean K Reynolds Games."{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} He continued to freelance in the d20 industry while working as an IP developer at Upper Deck.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} Reynolds was let go from Upper Deck in 2008 and contacted Erik Mona at Paizo Publishing looking to do freelance work, and learned there was a job opportunity due to developer Mike McArtor leaving.[3] In July 2008, Paizo hired Reynolds as a developer on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} Jason Bulmahn has described him as a "critical part of the design team".[4] In March 2014, Sean left Paizo to move to Indiana with his wife,[5] and in May 2014 he announced that he and his wife were divorcing, and that he was returning to Seattle and Wizards of the Coast for a contract position managing their third-party licensing.[6] PublicationsBooks he has worked on for the d20-based 3rd edition include the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, Savage Species, and Ghostwalk (co-written with Monte Cook). The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting won the Origins Award for Best Role-Playing Game Supplement of 2001.[7] It made the Amazon.ca bestseller list at number 47 in September 2002.[8] Reynolds identified the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as his favorite individual product from throughout his career, stating that it "was a huge amount of work but was so worth it because it is a great product".[9] In May 2003 his book Races of Faerun (co-authored with Matt Forbeck, James Jacobs, and Eric L. Boyd) landed on the same bestseller list at number 42.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite journal| last = Kenson| first = Stephen| authorlink = Steve Kenson| title = ProFiles: Sean Reynolds| journal = Dragon| issue = #270| pages = 20–21| publisher = Wizards of the Coast| location = Renton, Washington|date=April 2000}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.seankreynolds.com/misc/howIgothiredatTSR.html|title=How I Got A Job At TSR|website=Seankreynolds.com|accessdate=6 January 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|author=Jeremy L.
