cdmag has posted very interesting interview with Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax on Neverwinter Nights, evil Satanists, and why vampires get all the girls :) YES!
What do you think of BioWare's upcoming game, Neverwinter Nights?
I've thought all along that any game—massively multiplayer or anything where you go online—is going to do well if it's well done. You've got an ever-growing audience of people. I can't tell you how many times my game group is busy. Now that they're older, well, one's off to college, and one has to work nights, and so on. You are going to run into that sort of stuff online, but not nearly as badly as when you try to physically bring someone into one location.
And I like the idea. I love computer games too, and I think they've got great futures. I'm looking forward to the time when you have video and audio hookups on your computer—when that comes standard. I've been a fan of the computer for role-playing since before the Internet. You can do all your spectacular stuff, all your effects and cinematics and maps and such. I was always trying to get TSR to get more involved in that.
