Editing Erik Mona

'''Erik Mona''' (with a K) is /ourboy/ made good.

Mona more than anybody led the [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] resistance during the [[Lorraine Williams|bad years]]. He focused on [[Greyhawk]] at first, tearing into [[Rose Estes]]' novels and other horrendous content which nu-[[TSR]] foisted upon us, like [[WG10: Child's Play]]. He also kicked off the [[Oerth Journal]], serving the Greyhawk fandom in much the way that Pandius and ''Threshold'' served [[Mystara]].

When Williams lightened up a bit and especially after [[Wizards of the Coast]] took over, those designers with a clue - [[Monte Cook]], Steve Miller - treated Mona as our Tribune Of The Plebs, which he pretty much was. It's in large part thanks to Mona that the Living Greyhawk community and its Gazetteer became so well received. Mona also helped playtest a lot of content even where he didn't write it himself.

In 2004 Paizo appointed Mona to run ''[[Dragon]]'' and ''[[Dungeon]]''; on leaving the latter in 2006, Mona became head-publisher of all Paizo. Which set him up to get [[Pathfinder]] up and running.
