In the late 1980s and early 1990s Dansky attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
Personal life
Dansky is an enthusiast of cryptids, and in particular of Sasquatch or Bigfoot.[citation needed] He lives in North Carolina "with an ever-changing number of bottles of single malt scotch and a cat named Goblin". He swears she was named that when he got her.[2]
Dansky has published four media tie-in novels through White Wolf, including Clan Novel Lasombra and the Trilogy of the Second Age for Exalted. His original fiction includes the novella Shadows In Green (Yard Dog Press, 2013); the novels Firefly Rain (Wizards of the Coast Discoveries, 2008), Vaporware (JournalStone, 2013), and Ghost of a Marriage (Crossroad Press, 2022); and the short story collection Snowbird Gothic (Crossroad Press, 2018).[4] A former executive of the IGDA Game Writing Special Interest Group, he serves on the advisory board on the Game Narrative Summit at GDC. In 2007 he contributed the opening chapter to Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames alongside other members of the IGDA Game Writing SIG.
His namesake, Rich Dansky, appears as a player character in the scenario "And I Feel Fine," by Geoffrey C. Grabowski, which was published in the One Shots sourcebook for Unknown Armies. The fictional version of Dansky is described as "a bohemian academic living the simple life of a trailer park manager." Another role-playing game author, Jenna K. Moran also appears as a player character in the same scenario.
