The
questions for this interview were prepared in quite a rush, since
we've only been notified about the interview a few days before the
questions were due to be sent in. However, due to a certain Atari
PR representative's incompetence, the questions never got to R.
A. Salvatore for some reason. All attempts at getting the answers
have failed, so the interview was shelved indefinitely. Eventually,
after coming across the list of questions again in May 2006, I've
decided to just post the questions, in case anyone interested wants
to read them despite there being no answers. Here they are:
1.
What are all the things you've contributed to the Forgotten Realms:
Demon Stone project?
2. What made you want to get involved in the Demon Stone project
in the first place?
3. How does the Demon Stone storyline incorporate and enrich the
existing mythos, character-set, and overall persona of the Forgotten
Realms?
4. Besides some of the very well known Forgotten Realms locations
like Mithril Hall, Demon Stone also features some famous Realms
personalities, like Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun and Drizzt.
How do these characters fit into the game and its story?
5. In a game, battle scenes are performed by the player instead
of being described by the author. Did you miss writing the big action
sequences, or did this help you focus on adding detail to the overall
plotline?
6. Considering the action orientation of Demon Stone, just how much
story did you manage to squeeze into it, and how is it presented?
7. What do you think is there in Demon Stone that would make experienced
D&D players (or gamers) want to pick it up and play?
8. D&D games have started breaking the RPG-only mould lately;
there's even a D&D real-time strategy game coming up. What are
your thoughts on this expansion into other genres?
9. Now that Demon Stone is complete, do you intend on getting involved
in more console or PC D&D games?
10. Are you at all interested (professionally or privately) in Wizards
of The Coast's new Eberron setting, or do you intend to stick to
Forgotten Realms?
