Charles Feduke Interview at Planet Neverwinter
Posted Thursday, March 25, 2004 - 22:12 CET by chevalier

Planet Neverwinter have interviewed Charles Feduke, project manager of the NWN Lexicon. Here's an excerpt:

A: Before going into the subject of the Lexicon itself, Charles, it would be interesting to know more about yourself, the project manager of this well-respected community resource that is the Lexicon. Basically, who are you? What's your background in the realm of Dungeons & Dragons? And Neverwinter Nights? Is the Lexicon your only project in the NWN community?
CF : I'm a computer programmer by profession, and an occasional writer and artist as well. I've been programming for about a decade and got my start when I was still in high school. I have done few things for longer periods of time than program, and one of those is Dungeons & Dragons. I started playing D&D when I got my hands on a copy of the "D&D Expert Set" sometime in the late eighties which soon led to AD&D 2nd edition, and now D&D 3.0/3.5 that I still avidly pen and paper on the weekends. I would also like to note that al-Qadim was the greatest campaign setting TSR ever introduced, with Forgotten Realms being the best campaign world. My first introduction to NWN was prior to the BioWare NWN that we've all come to know and love: the NWN client which was played in conjunction with the America Online software (at the time AOL 2.5). That was a chaotic but fun game - but at $2.95 an hour it quickly got expensive. Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I heard that the news that a new game named "Neverwinter Nights" was in the works and even though it was nothing like the original, the name alone brings back fond memories (not to mention the reincarnation is a better product in all ways). My one failing with NWN is that I have yet to complete the standard campaign or any of the expansion packs and I haven't written any playable modules; orchestrating the NWN Lexicon expands to fill my free time as free time is found. The Lexicon is my only project within the NWN community.
