Richard Garriott (a.k.a. Lord British) has a funded Kickstarter project called Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. You can find out more about the computer game at the following links: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portalarium/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-0 https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/ I found out that the magical crossbow Iolo's Joy (in the Circle of Eight Modpack NC) which is named after the character Iolo FitzOwen is actually a character from the computer game series Ultima and who is named after the real-life composer David "Iolo" Watson.
I can't help but think of Ultima Online when I see this, I know they say you can play in off line mode, but I'll just have to wait and see for myself. It is exciting news to know that Tracey Hickman is writing much of the story for the single player mode.
Just had to put this here since they've just made it available: GOG.com now has Wizardry 6+7 and Wizardry 8 for sale- be still my beating heart...:yes:
