Award-winning writer specializing in licensed IP adaptation for games joins Renegade to produce upcoming titles for their rapidly expanding RPG portfolio 

Renegade Game Studios is an award-winning publisher of tabletop games and roleplaying games, known for brands including Heroscape, Axis & Allies, Vampire: The Masquerade, G.I. JOE, Transformers, and Power Rangers. Most recently, Renegade launched the Dungeon Crawler Carl Roleplaying Game, which became the most-funded game in BackerKit history. 

Wilkinson has spent the last ten years writing and producing playable stories across tabletop, AA and mobile games, and live-action roleplay events, credited on more than 30 titles across multiple lines. She specializes in adapting licensed worlds for games and transmedia and has helped bring several major TTRPG titles to market, including Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, Our Brilliant Ruin, and Dungeon Crawler Carl. She is also the creator of Vampire: The Masquerade Port Saga, the first V5 audio drama, and a longtime contributor across the World of Darkness. 

Most recently, Wilkinson was Associate Creative Director on Our Brilliant Ruin, Studio Hermitage’s flagship property, where she led narrative and IP development across tabletop RPG, video game, and audio drama formats and directed a team of writers, designers, and celebrity voice talent. Her work has earned international recognition across festivals and industry awards, including a 2025 Webby Award nomination for Clawmoor Heights and an Ennie Award (Gold) for Best Writing for Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. Known for grounded, character-driven storytelling, she combines her expertise in writing, screenwriting, and narrative design to create immersive, interactive experiences across games and scripted media. 

“As our RPG portfolio expands with new franchises, Rachel brings the right expertise to support that continued growth,” said Scott Gaeta, President & Publisher at Renegade Game Studios. “We’re thrilled to have her on board and are excited for TTRPG fans to see what she has been working on.” 

“The best part of this work is handing fans a way into a world they love and setting them loose, so they can tell their own stories with their friends,” said Wilkinson. “It’s a real pleasure to get to do that again with the team at Renegade, and I’m genuinely excited about what we're building next.” 

Wilkinson now serves as Producer at Renegade Game Studios. Since late last year, she has been spearheading an unannounced TTRPG which will bring a major franchise to the table. Fans should look for an announcement coming very soon about this new exciting franchise joining the Renegade RPG line-up.
