Erik Mona (born April 1974)[1] is an American game designer who lives in Seattle, Washington.[2]
Mona was the Managing Editor of issues 1 and 2 of the Oerth Journal, an online publication devoted to the World of Greyhawk campaign setting, and the Editor-in-Chief from issues 2–7.[3] Mona had the opportunity to talk to designers like Robert Kuntz on the GreyTalk mailing list in 1990s, where Kuntz shared stories of the early days of the Greyhawk campaigns.[4]: 242
Mona became the head publisher of Paizo in April 2006.[5] Mona served as the editor-in-chief of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game magazines Dragon beginning in 2004 and Dungeon from 2004 to 2006;[6] at the time, both magazines were published by Paizo until the license through Wizards of the Coast expired in September 2007.[citation needed] Mona and other editors at Paizo were fans of Greyhawk, and thus featured the setting in Dragon and Dungeon magazines while Paizo was publishing the magazines.[4]: 25
He has edited, authored, and co-authored several products for D&D, including the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer,[7] Faiths and Pantheons,[8] Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss,[9] Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (a "solid hit")[10]), Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting, and Armies of the Abyss.[11][12][13] He maintained a blog called Lemuria Press,[14] and made his last post on Lemuria Press on December 25, 2012.[15]
