Pool of Radiance Developer Profile

The Scrying Room has posted up a developer profile of Chuck Yager, the Associate Producer at Red Storm/SSI working on Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. Here’s an excerpt:

Us: What’s your background as a gamer? When did you develop your interest in games?

Chuck Yager: I’ve played all sorts of pen and paper RPGs as well as computer and console video games. My first love is always PnP games, such as D&D (surprise!), Whitewolf, Warhammer (FRPS), Steve Jackson Games, Ars Magica, and Role Master. I have to say I think I’m a bigger console game fan (having owned every system except Neo Geo since they came out), but I truly enjoy playing FPS like Unreal and Half Life, as well as RPGs such as Wizardry and my latest favorite IWD (a guilty pleasure given the game I am working on but hey…I’m honest). 🙂 I started PnP gaming when I was in high school (back in ‘90) but video games stretch all the way back to the early Atari systems for me.
