George Strayton
SCREENWRITER & Origins®-Award-Nominated GAME DESIGNER
George Strayton has worked on more than three dozen tabletop RPG and trading card game products for companies ranging from Wizards of the Coast to Goodman Games. While working on-staff at West End Games during the mid-1990s, he quickly rose in level from editor to Creative Director, during which time he wrote many books for STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES, including the STAR WARS, 2nd EDITION REVISED & EXPANDED RPG as well as THE D6 SYSTEM rulebook. In 1997, he was nominated for an Origins Award for the MEN IN BLACK roleplaying game.
In addition, George has written for three Sam Raimi television shows, including the hit series XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, under showrunners Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci (writer/producers of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3, TRANFORMERS 1 & 2, J.J. Abram’s STAR TREK, FRINGE, and COWBOYS & ALIENS). He also penned the screenplay for DRAGONLANCE (starring Kiefer Sutherland) for Paramount Pictures and in 2010 optioned a script based on the graphic novel XOMBIE to Kurtzman and Orci. In addition, he was a transmedia producer on the blockbuster films TRANSFORMERS 1 & 2. George attended Columbia University’s MFA in Film (Screenwriting) program on scholarship.
