Who is Edwin McRae?

I've been working professionally with story for over 25 years.

Having written everything from procedural narrative strategies to flavor text for hundreds of TCG cards, novels to comics, soap opera scripts to musicals, I've experienced an amazing breadth of storytelling. Now I’m looking ahead to the future of human narrative, both excited and terrifed to see what’s to come.

After working in theatre and television, I fell into scriptwriting for video games and evolved into a narrative designer able to wrangle both story and game play.

My motto is "Play is what we do. Story is why we do it."

I'm a New Zealander with a rich bi-cultural ancestry from Kati Māmoe Māori and Celtic Britain.

When I'm not making stuff up, I'm hanging out with my three beautiful daughters or adventuring with my partner in love and creativity. We're currently designing an off-grid lifestyle in a little country town where we hope to see out the impending apocalypse. ;-)
