[title]Four Hours with Ryan S Dancey[/title]

Today marks the debut of a new EN World columnist. You may have heard of him - Ryan Dancey helped spearhead D&D 3E as VP of Tabletop Roleplaying and the D&D Brand Manager at Wizards of the Coast, and was the prime mover behind the Open Gaming License and the d20 System Trademark License.

In his first column, "Who am I?", Ryan introduced himself and summarizes his history in the hobby game industry. Ryan will be writing a new column right here on EN World every month. His column will cover a variety of topics, including gaming topics and the occasional foray into industry subjects.
