Mini-Interview with Sue Cook

Due to the Holiday I will only update the blog once this week.

What has been your best moment working or playing with an AE product?
I can recall several really great moments:

* Seeing the beautiful color art come in. This was our first full color book, so that was very exciting.

* I had a really good time playing my playtest character, Maedi Sparkborn, a sprite magister. She used the electricity template with her spells — very cool!

* A great moment was the night of the Gen Con & EN World Awards when AE was recognized for best interior artwork and Best d20 Game. Monte and I always believed in the book, and it was great that evening to see how many others believed in it too!


Can you name for us a totem type, champion type and a witch type that would be cool but you have never seen from the fans?
I’m not sure what alternate types the fans have come up with, Steve — I know it’s a lot! -- but I’ll say: alligator totem, champion of commerce, and a literary witch. (Hm, looking at that list, I guess we can see who’s the game designer in the family — not me!)

What is the future of AE?
At this point, the future of AE is still unwritten. Monte and I are pleased to see so much continued fan support, and we hope that the world of the Diamond Throne will continue to enthrall gamers for some time to come. I wish I could tell you that we had more new products in the hopper, but Monte is working on novel-writing projects for the time being. However, I do believe that in the months to come we will see an exciting new AE product or two produced under license from our partners at Fiery Dragon Productions.


What is your favorite AE product besides the core book?
Besides the core book, my favorite product is The Dragons’ Return. I had such a good time working with the authors on the stories in this anthology, and it was very appealing to me to flesh out the world and its history through fiction.


I would like to thank Sue Cook for taking the time out for my humble blog. :)
