Zoq is an IK of the Imp Zone, Plutonis is an Imp of the Perverse. It's probably in the job description.

I'm pretty sure that Ed Greenwood and R.A. Salvatore are the only people who actually make a consistent living off of D&D and will continue to do so in the future. Those guys are going to be getting work or a check in the mail until the day they die. Just think about that. Not that they're bad people but they've done better than the people who created the game.

I don't remember an "Elminster the best-selling novelist" book, but that sure looks like the front cover to it.

Ed created huge parts of the game - maybe not that much rules-wise but he's contributed significantly to how we think about campaign settings, the Nine Hells, so forth and so on. He's a good designer who made a good thing with the Forgotten Realms, not just the guy who made Elminster.

Agreed. Forgotten Realms sucks and I'm frankly going to flip my lid if the next D&D video game isn't in a cooler setting.

The next D&D video game will be a nostalgic return to its roots with classic and oft-forgotten D&D setting, Forgotten Realms.
