| What would you ask?
I've got the pleasant task of creating a bunch of interview questions for Ari (he doesn't even know it yet) and I'm curious if you guys have any questions you want answered.
Feel free to post 'em here or email them to me directly.

| Thanks Sammael, I was getting the feeling that I was wandering in an RPG wasteland here. C'mon folks, you could Google for the guy if you don't know who he is.
His ENWorld alias notwithstanding, some folks might (I had hoped, anyway) know who Ari is but not use the ENWorld boards and so would like a chance to ask questions.
For example, to stir the hornet's nest, there's an upcoming book called the [url="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/953847200"]Complete Mage[/url] that he's an author of. Perhaps you'd like to know something about why WotC is releasing it.

| Mouseferatu?
I remember him from the old days on the White Wolf boards...
He's a very decent sort if I remember correctly. It's disappointing that I don't do many of the "extra" books, because I might be able to create at least a couple simple questions. | |

| I'd ask: "So I've written 11 or 12 d20 books and we've even worked on one or two together, so how come no one is interviewing me?"

| I'd ask: "How the heck are ya, Ari? Haven't talked to you since our MonkeyGod days...." ;)
And I guess I could, except that I haven't been over to EN World in what feels like a decade...

MonkeyGod days? Are you refering to the d20 co. MonkeyGod Enterprises? Have you written for them? If so, what did you write, because I did some playtesting for them. | |
You know, I keep thinking that after the new design team gets done with D&D 4e, D&D won't stand for Dungeons and Dragons anymore, because well, that's just not fun. It's old and stuffy. - Originally Posted by BabWryter on Kenzerco.com | |

That's the Monkey I'm talking about!
I wrote Black Ice Well (which only my hapless group of friends playtested) and Hellstone Deep (which wiped out at least one playtesting group several times...)
Killing PCs is one of my hobbies. ;)

| So as to make sure that this thread about Ari (not me) doesn't get hijacked, Ari's MonkeyGod adventures were Shadows Under Thessaline (creepy) and The Hero Snare (which gives kobolds their day in the...uh...cave...). Ari's also written tons of RPG material (mostly for White Wolf, more recently for WotC) and several Dragon magazine articles.
There -- my guilt over plugging my own long outdated RPG material has been eradicated. ;)
