Two legends of gaming join forces as international and New York Times bestselling fantasy author Tracy Hickman and Richard Garriott’s team up.
Things are going well for Richard Garriott’s new online role-playing game. Lord British has joined forces with Tracy Hickman, New York Times Best-selling author of Dragonlance and Deathgate series. Hickman will be lead story designer on Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. Garriott talks about the new game in the exclusive video interview below.
“There is a tremendous opportunity to create something meaningful, challenging and wondrous in Shroud of the Avatar,” said Tracy. “I’m thrilled to play a part in it.”
“Tracy is not only a good friend, but also a master storycrafter whose writing I’ve greatly admired for over twenty years,” said Garriott. “Tracy’s talent will add a unique richness and depth to Shroud of the Avatar.”
Tracy is known world-wide for creating the incredible worlds and stories of Dragonlance, the Deathgate Cycle, the Annals of Drakis and Wayne of Gotham. He, with his wife Laura, pioneered the use and integration of story into role playing games. He currently has over fifty books in print and is also a pioneer in the New Media publishing world of e-books and online serial publishing.
