Paul DeStefano

I’ve been writing interactive fiction for games for decades. On my most recent work for the app of the multi-million-dollar table top adventure game Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood, I was fortunate enough to have the narration done by Game of Thrones’ Lord Mormont, James Cosmo, and art by Dongjun Lu of WETA special effects.

Interactive fiction is my passion. Please enjoy the following links to scripted works:

The second Oathsworn edition funded for over $3.2 million late last year. Oathsworn has become the highest rated boardgame of all time counting games with over 2,000 ratings on BoardGameGeek.com. The companion app has my script narrated by James Cosmo, who played Lord Mormont on Game of Thrones, as well as parts in Braveheart and Highlander.

While I do write traditional novels, both under my own name with my paranormal Riftsiders series and ghostwritten work through Relay Publishing, I am a firm believer that interactive fiction is the ultimate step in modern storytelling. That’s why I work for many gaming companies where the story is played, rather than just passively read.

I’ve worked on officially licensed games for Lord of the Rings and Star Trek for WizKids. The fiction behind the incredibly fantastical world of Corunea by Insight Games was also mine. I have had the Top Humor Writer badge multiple times on Medium.com, catering to over 60 million active readers, where individual articles of mine have over 70,000 reads.

I hope to hear from you soon so we can work out something beneficial to both of us.

Thank you for your consideration.
