    Christopher Bruce here, Senior Animator on Neverwinter.
    Do a lot of our rigs, 3DS Max tools, technical stuff and occasionally make things run around and do stuff.
    Thanks for stopping by ruff:)

    What's the funnest thing you've had to animate lately?

    I've done some power animations in the past, but we've spent so much time tweaking, fine-tuning, and revamping powers that I'm not sure how much of what I've done is in the game anymore.

    More recently I've been working on rigs for our non-human critters, mounts, and companions. D&D has a huge beastiary of creatures, and we're trying to get as many of them into Neverwinter that we can.

    Right on. love to hear stuff like this :D

    Yeah that's pretty hardcore :) I would love the opportunity to bring the Monster Manual to life!
    Do you guys have physical copies of the books laying around? I know that's kind of a random question heh.

    Of course! We've got multiple copies of every manual from every edition floating around. And we work very closely with WotC to ensure that what we're putting into Neverwinter fits the most current style of the world of Dungeons and Dragons.

    You ever play PnP? Got a favorite edition or anything particular from one of the books that's directly inspired something you've done in game? Like, saw something and said, holy <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> that's cool, I want to do THAT today!

    I know this one may be odd, but would you consider or be willing to go on the NOCS(Neverwinter Online Crossroads Show) Podcast and answer some questions? We have been waiting for a dev to join the show for a long time now.

    Also I really want Dragonborns to be a race at launch if yall can talk about that or not I understand

    Pretty sure this kind of thing has to be coordinated through marketing and whatnot. Besides, you're far better off talking to someone like Squez who's less heads down in one very particular segment of the game.

    Always been a fan of Forgotten Realms. Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter. Also really liked 2nd Edition/Planescape.

    Not a lot of PnP gaming experience. Maybe a half-dozen games ranging from pretty cool to one game with "My character gets naked and starts drinking!"

    I do not respond to begging...only to not-poisoned cookie filled gift baskets! or you can PM: cmpinpointerror.

    Like Ruffiana says we totally schedule that stuff out with the rest of our PR/Marketing efforts and he can get you on the right people's radar... then at some point someone will say "hey Squez, you've got an interview with that dude from the FORUMS!!!!" and then i'll be all like "NO WAAYYY FULL CIRCLE DUDE"...and then we'll all be happy.

    What kind of cookies do you want Squez?

    I can easily give you Session Cookies, Persistent Cookies, Secure Cookies, Supercookies and even Zombie Cookies.
    I'll be nice an avoid Tracking Cookies though. The janitors definitely wouldn't be thrilled with you leaving tracks all around the office afterall.

    Perhaps it is the opposite? Your odor is that of flowers and sunlight which drives Trolls away?

    I have a question, While in the Foundry editing... What contact does our character have with the world in-game. Meaning do we have chat options still? world/guild chat etc.. or No contact. Your character is basically logged out while in the Foundry?

    Watching videos I doubt this since its probably tied to your account but can I have the foundry open on one computer with my character logged in on another?

    I guess i just hope there is something to keep me informed if a guildy needs help or a maiden stumbles into the local tavern needing assistance hehe....

    From the videos it doesn't look like you are logged in at all when using the foundry. You log in to the character selection screen and there is a button to enter the foundry. It looks like none of your characters all logged in at all while working but I could be wrong.
