Meet the Team: Daniel Stahl

Cryptic Studios has posted an internal interview with Champions Online Producer, Daniel Stahl.

Q: What do you do on Champions Online?
A: As a producer on Champions Online, every day brings something new. Some days, it is reviewing bug lists and prioritizing the things to fix first. Other days, it could be making sure dinners get delivered for the crew working late. It boils down to helping out in any way needed. It's my job to ask a lot of questions, keep track of the big picture, and never lose sight of our goals.

Q: How long have you worked in gaming, and what did you do before Champions Online?
A: In 1996, I launched a popular Battletech fan site and from there I was recruited by Wizards of the Coast. I spent 6 years working on projects such as Magic: The Gathering and various other collectible card games (Pokemon, Star Wars). During this time, I also co-developed the Pirate's Cove board game with my friend Paul Randles. I then moved on to work with the Xbox Live team for the launch of the Xbox 360 and continued working on Xbox Live features.
