As a novelist, Ed has written science fiction, fantasy, and pulp fiction novels and short stories. Ed comes to Red 5 from Wizards of the Coast, where he spent twelve years as a game designer, creative director, design manager, and special projects manager (depending on when you check his resume). Most notably Ed was the creative director during the design of the Third Edition and “version 3.5” editions of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. In recent years, Ed coordinated efforts between Wizards, Atari, and various developers and design houses to bring D&D to the computer screen, working on such titles as Neverwinter Nights 2, Demonstone, D&D Heroes, and D&D Online: Stormreach.

David hails from the tabletop gaming industry where he spent the last decade creating and developing award-winning and best selling games for Alderac Entertainment Group and Wizards of the Coast. He is best known for creating Legend of the Five Rings®, and a ludicrous number of other collectible card games, including Doomtown®, Warlord®, and most recently the City of Heroes® CCG. David's games have received numerous Game of the Year awards, and he himself was named "Designer of the Year" by Inquest magazine. When he's not logged into one of his many electronic fantasy lives, David studies kenjutsu, baseball box scores, and his navel.

    We're Here at GenCon

    I know we're a podcast and this is the feed for the audio, but I'm so excited that I just had to post up that I've met up with Common Dialog and we're patiently waiting for our room at the Westin to open up. This is the first time CD and I've met in person. I'd like to think we get along as well without the internet divide as we do when I can mute myself or web surf during our conversations.

    Its fricking hot in this lobby. I live in Florida, and this is a hawt lobby. Not sure what the deal is about that.

    I've been notified that our double room is ready. So, Ryan Macklin of The Master Plan, Ram Hull, Common and I will be heading up to drop off our stuff and figure out what we're gonna do.
