About Eric Law
Eric Law is a TheBestWarGames contributor from Pennsylvania, USA. An MMORPG-focused video game writer for TheBestWarGames for four years and counting, Eric cut his teeth on gaming since he was a wee lad watching his father play Lands of Lore. Equipped with a +1 Bachelor's Degree of Creative Writing, making the jump from gamer to game journalist was a natural evolution.

His nerd specializations of choice are Dungeons & Dragons and narrative-focused RPGs (Especially of the MMO variety,) and has spend thousands of hours in Fantasy Grounds, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14, and more. One of his articles was even cited on the official Dungeons and Dragons Wikipedia page!
