Rebecca Sean Borgstrom is a roleplaying game writer. She is the author of Nobilis, The Game of Powers (the LARP version of Nobilis), as well as several source books for Exalted.

Borgstrom graduated from Georgetown University with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science in 1988, and from Johns Hopkins University with a doctorate in computer science in 2000.

She is also credited as R. Sean Borgstrom, Rebecca Borgstrom, and Sean Borgstrom.

Borgstrom writes Hitherby Dragons, a blog style ongoing story or collection of stories. She posts a new entry Monday through Saturday. The collection is comprised of legends and histories. Legends are performances put on by a girl named Jane, her brother Martin, and other recurring actors. Histories are actual events in Jane's world. They are marked by numbers after their titles, such as "1 of 2." For more information, see Borgstrom's own explanation at What is Hitherby Dragons. Readers can comment on entries, and there is usually a lively discussion of what each entry means and how they fit together. In content, Hitherbies tend toward surreal and fantastic, are often humorous, and encorporate elements of philosophy, computer science, and pop culture.
