Monte Cook is most famous as co-designer of Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition, and writer of the third edition Dungeon Master’s Guide. He has worked on countless RPG products for Iron Crown Enterprises and TSR/Wizards of the Coast, including lines such as Champions, Planescape and Dark*Matter. In 2001, he became an independent publisher, and was one of the first to produce material online under the Open Gaming License. Under his Malhavoc Press imprint, he self-published many products, including Arcana Unearthed/Evolved, and cumulating in Ptolus, a book that is regarded by many as the ultimate fantasy RPG setting. He has since worked on an experimental subscription-based adventure project called Dungeon-a-Day and consulted on the design of the Pathfinder RPG. He now writes the “Legends and Lore” column for the Dungeons and Dragons website.
