Career

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.
