This is a great summer for RPGs: The launch of Earthdawn 3rd edition and Pathfinder RPG!

Wow. That interview made me feel like I should almost respect and stop hazing our remaining male intern! Way to go, Hank.

Haha, thanks Mairkurion. Although, my internship with Paizo is now officially over; I begin a new adventure with Microsoft starting tomorrow! Though I fully intend to continue freelancing for Paizo as much as Sean will allow. ;)

Also, the mass combat manuscript mentioned in the interview was accepted by Adamant Entertainment, so keep an eye out!

[Mairkurion {tm}]

Hey, when did that happen? I caught David's departure, but not yours. Best of luck in your new ventures! I'm thrilled you got an acceptance from a publisher supporting Pathfinder! And whenever I have trouble with a Microsoft product in the future, I'll say, "Damn that Hank Woon!"

[Txoro of Barsaive]

Ah yes, I see that your moniker has changed to say (Contributor) instead of (Whipping Boy)...

Gratz on the Microsoft job, now is that Microsoft games? or like the Main Microsoft entity?

[Hank Woon]

@Mairkurion: It happened rather suddenly, actually. I got the job offer Thursday night and told Paizo Friday (so this is my first week as a non-intern).

@Txoro: Alas, not with Xbox (but maybe someday! Fingers crossed). I'm with a group called Commercial SD.

Documenting the development process? Or the software itself for endusers?

Formatting and editing contract documents. =)

Not quite dealing with monsters or discovering new, fantastic cities, eh ;-)

Not quite, but I'll still have plenty of that I'll have to get done, too! Goodbye free time! ;)

True, true. Earthdawn's still there. And Paizo. Any news of future Pathfinder projects you'll be involved in?

[Mark Moreland]

Best o' luck to you Hank. And don't forget the wiki should any free time creep in there between work and official writing gigs. You've been helpful thus far and the community is grateful. May the gods see you well on your journey!

[Hank Woon]

@Joela: The latest assignment I got was some stuff for the CoT Player's Guide and NPC Guide. But they're aware I'm very interested in contributing wherever I can. I also just got invited to join the dev team for a company (not Paizo) that will remain nameless for a PF project that will remain nameless (it's not my place to be the one to announce their projects). I'm pretty excited for the project. =)

But that means, in addition to this latest company and project, I have (or soon will have) 4 games I'll be working on: Earthdawn 3rd edition, Age of Legend 4E, Equinox, and the latest (plus any freelance I can get from Paizo!).

@Yoda: Thanks! And I definitely won't be forgetting about the wiki!

For the ED fans: Something Positive.

Busy bugger! And tease (about the unnamed project, which probably involves either LDJ or Adamant ;-).

"Equinox"?

Luck to all your endeavors. Look forward to them.

Damn it! That sounds interesting! What are you and Red Brick trying to do? Get more money from me? Oh, wait.... ;-)

How was the first day on the job, btw?

Not bad! ;)

[Txoro of Barsaive]

Is Mongoose (Flaming Cobra) going to be printing Equinox also?

I believe they will be doing all of RedBrick's publications. =)
