Ulrich Kiesow was the creator of the pen and paper role-playing game The Dark Eye and it's accompanying universe. Besides contributing to many publications regarding this game, Kiesow used the pseudonym Andreas Blumenkamp to write satirical articles for the now defunct German roleplaying game magazine Wunderwelten.

In 1983 Kiesow co-founded Fantasy Productions with Werner Fuchs and Hans Joachim Alpers. Kiesow was the translator of the first German language editions for both Tunnels & Trolls, which was the first German language RPG rule book, and Dungeons & Dragons.

Kiesow suffered a severe heart attack in August 1995, while recovering he began to write The Dark Eye novel Das zerbrochene Rad. The novel had just completed when Kiesow died of heart failure in his home on January 30, 1997.
