My ProfileAbout Me
About Me:
My job title at Wizards of the Coast is Senior Producer, D&D RPGs. My job is to oversee the creation of all D&D RPG products as well as the people responsible for creating them. I get to work with a lot of talented people, and even boss around some of them. On Monday and Wednesday evenings, I run a D&D 4E campaign ("Iomandra and the Dragon Sea") for two different groups. I'm also the DM in a series of podcasts featuring "Tycho" and "Gabe" of Penny Arcade, Scott Kurtz of PvP, and Wil Wheaton (who are all too cool to hang out with the likes of me). My main WoW character is a Level 80 Blood Elf Paladin named Soulkrath.

I have to add that I strive to encourage the players to make their characters part of the story. Rather than have a band of adventurers who gush when they meet the likes of Elminster, Storm Silverhand or some other high-powered NPC, I endeavor to create campaigns where the lives & deeds of the players come to the fore.
Players that hang back and don't risk anything don't reap the rewards of fortune and glory. Especially the glory.
Fame more than riches,...
