Message: <blockquote data-quote="Erik Mona" data-source="post: 3245864" data-attributes="member: 2174">When Paizo started, it was composed of the entire "periodicals group" at Wizards of the Coast, including folks like Jesse Decker, Chris Thomasson, Matthew Sernett, and the associated "business" and art staffs of Dragon, Dungeon, and Star Wars insider. Nearly five years later, I am the only employee remaining from that original cross-over period. Everyone else has either returned to Wizards of the Coast or moved on to other opportunities, having since been replaced by other capable professionals.When WotC periodicals spun off into an independent business, our publisher (the job title, not the type of company) was Johnny L. Wilson, he of the abrasive internet posts and the frequently childish public personna. Johnny left the company about two years in and was replaced by Keith Strohm, who had been an editor at TSR and WotC and later a brand manager for D&D and Pokemon. Keith was with the company about two years before moving to Chicago to chase some crazy thing called love, and I ascended to the role of publisher.Hope that makes sense.Merry Christmas right back at you, btw. --Erik MonaPublisherPaizo Publishing, LLC</blockquote>
