    GameZone has previewed Turbine's Dungeons & Dragons Online in a pre-E3 first look. Here's a snip:

    When it comes to fantasy role-playing games, most of the titles available for the massively multiplayer online market borrow from the pen-and-paper title that began it all, Dungeons & Dragons. Most claim to be founded on the D&D ruleset, but will willingly admit that most of those rulesets have been modified for the sake of gameplay.

    Turbine Entertainment, in conjunction with Atari, is looking to reverse that trend, by stepping back and immersing the game players in the D&D world, complete with the residing ruleset. The game is Dungeons & Dragons Online, an MMO slated for release in December.

    The title will be the first and only “official” MMO based on the Dungeons & Dragons world belonging to Wizards of the Coast. That means there are likely to be a lot of expectations on the game, but that is a challenge that Turbine is willing to meet head-on.

    Turbine was on hand at a recent Pre-E3 Editor’s event in San Francisco to show off the title. Ken Troop, lead designer, gave journalists a quick walkthrough of the nuances of the title and explained some of the goals of the project.
