Dungeons And Dragons Online Slated For 2005

Posted by simoniker on from the gygax-vs-tolkein dept.

As part of the continuing announcement-based madness that is E3, Atari have announced that they're partnering with Turbine Entertainment to make Dungeons And Dragons Online. This is especially interesting since developers Turbine, the makers of Asheron's Call 1 and 2 for Microsoft, have also just announced they're creating Middle Earth Online (previous Slashdot story). Which one are you going to be playing?

    Great! Now there will be another online way to keep the trolls down besides moderation on Slashdot.

    Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

    Which ONE? Oh please. I'm sure I'm not the only one with more than one computer. =)

    Honestly, though, it would cut into my pen & paper D&D evenings. Can't have that. ("Can I have a Mountain Dew?")

    Ahhh....Internet D&D should be like: DM: You quietly tiptoes into the approaching chamber. The air is murky and the only light is coming from the glowing pendant you wear around your neck. Suddenly, you notice an enormous beast, at least twice your height, crawling down the passage towards you. The creature opens its mouth and, in an apparent attempt to mock your puny self, screams, "I am the legendary Mieqqerowzzuft. Where do you want to go today?" Player: I rip out my Linux Sword of Vengeance +7 and attack! DM: (rolls dice) You have successfully smote the beast.
