Ryan Costello is the director of The Know Direction Network, a fan-run for-fun network of podcasts and blogs largely dedicated to Pathfinder and Starfinder. The Know Direction Network has been podcasting about Pathfinder since before the 1e Alpha playtest, and recently produced PaizoCon Online 2026. In between, he's helped produce what can only be described as a server-bursting amount of audio about TTRPGs. When he's not podcasting, Ryan writes and designs. He's one of the designers of Renegade Game Studios' house system Essence20, has written over 300 000 words for the G.I. JOE, Transformers, and My Little Pony Roleplaying Games, and has contributed to such Pathfinder products as Lost Omens Legends and Knights of Lastwall.
