I am the Senior Level Designer for Dungeons & Dragons® Online, and have been working on the project since day one over two years ago. But my experiences with D&D go back much farther than that. I have been playing the pencil and paper game since first edition – I still remember purchasing the original hardcover books with my allowance and treasuring them more than anything else I owned. About 10 years ago, I entered the game industry working on various game and platform types. While I worked mostly on shooter games, my personal game-time was spent largely in MMOs. I played most all of them. UO, EQ, AO, SB, you name it, I played it feverishly.
