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, Hail Caeser, Black Powder and Gates of Antares alongside other former GW game designers.
