11:35 AM: Allan Sugarbaker says... Sword & Sorcery To Publish EverQuest d20
It had to happen sooner or later: EverQuest, the most popular MMORPG in the world, is being brought to the most popular tabletop RPG, the d20 System. White Wolf Publishing and Sony Online Entertainment have announced the EverQuest Roleplaying Game, which will start off in July 2002 with the release of the first book, the EverQuest RPG Player's Handbook (a mere 304 pages). This will be followed in August by Monsters of Norrath (224 pages), and the Game Master's Guide (256 pages) in October. White Wolf's Sword & Sorcery design studio will be heading the attempt to get EverQuest some street cred with traditional roleplayers. Hey, as long as my players don't start yelling, "Train! Run for the zone!!" I'll give it a shot.
