Ree Soesbee is an American writer and game designer who holds an MA in English literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she wrote her thesis on medieval literature before leaving her doctoral program to pursue game design professionally. She began as a freelancer for Alderac Entertainment Group, writing for the Legend of the Five Rings collectible card game, and went on to contribute to sourcebooks for role-playing systems including 7th Sea, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Between 2005 and 2008 she authored numerous Dragonlance novels for young adult readers, including entries in the Elidor and Elements trilogies. In 2006 she was hired by ArenaNet as Narrative, Lore and Continuity Designer for Guild Wars 2, shaping the game's expansive fictional world. She won the 2002 Origins Award for Best Role-Playing Game Supplement for Celtic Age: Roleplaying the Myths, Heroes, and Monsters of the Celts, and her fascination with role-playing games traces back to a 1983 Dungeons & Dragons boxed set given to her by a relative.
