Summary: Please join Brian Bloom, Ben H.(Aroen), Douglas Bowser, Charles Bowser, and Mike Johnson (our on location media producer) as we make our epic appearance at the 2011 Origins Game Fair in downtown Columbus, OH. While we were there, we got a grand tour of the event, thanks to staff at the GAMA media/press staff. We cover new NWN Modules and modules/PW’s close to their Hall of Fame status. While we were at the game fair, we had the honor of interviewing Shane Hensley, the Executive Producer of Cryptic’s upcoming title, Neverwinter. At the end of the interview, we have included a bonus interview of GMX (Geek Media Expo) as they discuss their upcoming events that pertain to D&D content authors. Shane Hensley, Executive Producer, Neverwinter With over 20 years of experience in the interactive entertainment industry, Shane started out as a freelance designer and writer and has worked on hundreds of computer, card, role-playing and miniature games, as well as novels, for over a dozen companies and his own company, Pinnacle Entertainment Group. Shane joined Cryptic Studios in 2004 as a lead on City of Heroes/Villains and on a number of prototype projects. He left Cryptic for a brief period to create his own games and was appointed head of several studios in Arizona before coming back “home” to work with his many great friends at Cryptic. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a BS in History and Political Science, served in the VA National Guard, and received his MA in Special Operations from the American Military University.
