-'''Rick Priestley''' was an employee of [[Games Workshop]].  He was one of the designers of [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] along with [[Bryan Ansell]] and [[Richard Hailliwell]], and also designed WFB's large-scale counterpart, [[Warmaster]].  He also wrote the early storyline for both Warhammers, and as such is considered their creator. By July 1997, he and [[Andy Jones]] and [[Marc Gascoigne]] had developed the idea of the [[Black Library]], [[Games Workshop]]'s publishing arm, and the [[Inferno!]] magazine dedicated to their [[Specialist Games]] line. [[The Lord Of The Rings]] game was his last GW game, designed to steer the company back in his preferred design direction.
-He left GW in 2010, ostensibly due to a change in corporate culture (read: GW caring more about fleecing their playerbase then making fun games). Since then he has worked with [[Warlord Games]] on [[Bolt Action]].
