    Apart from writing a bit about Turbine's upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Online, PC Game News has interviewed Turbine staff members on their way of making the geek dream come true. This covers the foundations of the game, the basic principles and concerns driving the designers, as well as the geekier details. Here's a snip:

    It was those very same games and campaigns that spawned much of the worlds the videogame industry likes to call role-playing games (RPGs), and the rulesets also have formed the foundation – with modifications – for a wide number of MMOs (massively multiplayer online titles). When it was announced that a new MMO would be coming out that would actually be called Dungeons & Dragons, the ears of generations of PnP gamers perked up. Just what would this new MMO entail? How closely would it follow the imaginary realms and rulesets of the PnP games?

    Turbine Entertainment is the holder of the valued D&D license and come late fall, it will unleash Dungeons & Dragons Online upon the MMO genre. Stunning to look at, the game will feature adventure, challenge, dungeon crawls, and class systems certain to capture and captivate the imagination.

    The game takes place on the continent of Xen’drik in the world of Eberron, and the campaign for this online game was created by Keith Baker and Wizards of the Coast, and uses the 3.5 ruleset.
