Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tav_Behemoth" data-source="post: 5644261" data-attributes="member: 18017">Since the EN Worlder in question is me <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" /> I know part of this story - back in '08 I applied for a game designer position posted at the WotC site, and James Wyatt liked the design test portion of my application and took a chance on me - thanks man! Thanks also to Mike Mearls for later assigning me such a hefty chunk of <a href="http://www.wizards.com/ContentResources/Wizards/Sales/Solicitations/mordenkainens_magnificent_Solicitation_en_US.pdf" target="_blank">Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium</a>. Thanks also to Eytan Bernstein for bringing me in on a project he had from Joseph Goodman to write versions of the classic classes that were missing from 4E at launch; to Joseph who was open to Eytan's suggestion to bring in more authors from our playtest group; and to Greg Tito and Brian Cortijo, the other two guys with whom I developed the class and power design and playtesting skills that would later make my design test stand out.OK but the part I don't know about is: how did Mordenkainen's get back on the release schedule? When its cancellation was announced I resigned myself to never having my name on the cover of an honest-to-goodness official Dungeons & Dragons book. And because Greg and I have been so busy running the non-stop demo of our new thing <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/142014231/adventurer-conqueror-king" target="_blank">Adventurer Conqueror King</a>, I haven't had time to keep up with the Gen Con news happening outside my little bubble. What's the word on this and any other changes to future 4E books?</blockquote>
