Don't be afraid of me. I'm just a gamer, and try to be a nice guy and a decent human being...and I'm old: you can outrun me. ;} So ask me anything. I have no secrets.

I really appreciate Ed answers so many questions. Even ones like this. I need to stop being afraid and @ him like he told me to and ask him my thoughts on Helmites and Selûnites...

Something I've always wondered: did you always intend for Ao to be a "hands off the steering wheel" kind of figure or has he ever taken a more direct role in the Forgotten Realms?

TSR added Ao to the Realms, so I had no "always" intentions for him at all. Once he was there, I saw him as a Watcher hands-off figure who drew a line in the sand for deities, and when they stepped over it, humbled them and calmly went back to watching. Over and over if needed.

Awesome to hear from you sir. In my home game I've created a counter-point to him called "Indaril" who is always seeking to supplant him by subtly manipulating other dieties. A being of wanton destruction and malevolence.
