Don Daglow was CEO of Stormfront Studios, a game design firm he founded in 1988. One of the titles the firm is recognized for is Neverwinter Nights (1991), credited as the first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) role-playing game to go online as pay to play, hosted by America Online (AOL). Daglow donated a group of AD&D role-playing game manuals dating from around the time Stormfront Studios developed this and similar projects.
