Recently added Steven Schend to the line-up.  Others such as Ed Greenwood, Erik Scott de Bie, Brian R. James, and others are already there. 


This is a persistent online interview.  Meaning, participation by loyal fans like YOU is what drives it.  Come check it out if you are interested.  I don't charge anyone for my site so don't think this is some gimmick   I am just that geeky ;)

I have yet to post any questions (still got one waiting on CK), but have enjoyed reading the interview threads greatly. Especiall Ed's thread. For one thing it reminded me exactly how much of a gentleman (the old definition boys and girls, a ...gentle...man) he is.


Thank you for giving us this new avenue into enjoying our hobby even more with the people who have helped it to thrive.

I just asked questions to Erik and Steven. Hopefully everything went through all right. Matt, is it possible for you to check to see if Erik got my questions? I logged in and submitted my questions, but then a screen came up saying I had logged out due to what I suppose was inactivity (even though I had only been idle a couple of minutes). Then it said my action was successful, but I couldn't tell if it was referring to my submission or keying my password in again. Do you think I should resend the questions?


EDIT: Nevermind. Seems Erik got them all right. And his answers were f***ing incredible! My heartfelt thanks to Erik for the quick and detailed responses!

Well, they *were* great questions.

Though anything I may or may not say about Twilight has to be taken with a grain of salt. All my answers come from her directly, and we know how much she likes those bluff checks. ;)

I think Fox should meet Samantha (my fallen-succubus tiefling bard). They are likely capable to rewrite Realms history just by sitting quietly together sipping tea.


Come to think of it, if Fox dealt with Graz'z't, maybe they did.

I'm just happy it has turned out as cool as it has.  And a HUGE thanks to the designers and authors who are contributing.  TOO COOL Cool

Hey--it's your Realms. Canon exists to serve your whim.

Plus that would be hawt.

So, what about Rustybeard?  The middle-aged dwarven Mercenary from the Vilhon Wilds?  You can't have true love without a dirty beard!


(hey, you said it was my Realms Cool)

Absolutely...a combined god covering all (or some) of the domains would be awesome. I believe Raymond E. Feist did that in his Magician novels...old gods got destroyed in a war and two combined for survival.


 


And isn't it true that the more that believe in said god the more powerful/real said god is?


They already have at least one believer in Shadowbane.

Did. Months ago. Love it. Have sung Erik's praises for all his works.

In my own 4E Realms, Helm never died. But the Eye of Justice concept is still in use. It's too good to pass up.

(hey, you said it was my Realms )



What makes you think I'd have an objection?

So long as he's prepared for some hot dwarf lovin' . . . and some good ol'dwarf heart-break.

Submitted questions to Rosemary. Still waiting on Steven for answers (which is funny, cuz he recently did a four-part answer session).


So now I just need questions for Christopher and non-Iakhovas Brian. Will try to think of questions I haven't asked anyone else...

Thanks. I figure once I come up with questions for Brian and Christopher, I'll begin the cycle again. I don't know why more people aren't taking advantage of this opportunity. It's a gold mine.Money mouth

Manshoon is kicking butt with questions.  Keep up the good work. 


Everyone else:  This is a good opportunity that you won't likely see elsewhere to get your questions in.
