Is that based in the Realms, or is it a world you created yourself? GamesBeat: You’re talking about your home campaign. That kind of base set and then the modules that add on top of it and shape it, I love that analogy, because that’s what I see this game becoming, just a different version of that. But really capturing that essence and spirit.

It still has the DM and the player interaction and the crazy fun joking. My ambition for this title from the beginning is for a new group of D&D players, when they talk about getting together and playing D&D this weekend and whatever campaign they’re doing, they’re talking about Sword Coast Legends. I can see this going for as long as people keep playing. We have a lot of stories to tell and a lot of places we’d like to visit, a lot of people we’d like to meet. We’ve often talked about - we hope that fans love this so much and play this so much that it becomes the Sword Coast saga in a lot of respects. GamesBeat: So Sword Coast Legends itself is almost like an old-fashioned Forgotten Realms boxed set? You’ll have other material coming out that builds on that set in the future? Is this right? MetaBeat will bring together metaverse thought leaders to give guidance on how metaverse technology will transform the way all industries communicate and do business on October 3-4 in San Francisco, CA. But I fully expect them to expand that, to go back to the roots and do that based on the stories that we’re telling. These guys are telling a fantastic story, and that’s the anchor point for the game and the locations on the Sword Coast. These guys aren’t jumping in on Elemental Evil, but certainly the water element and stuff like that, that changes the locations you’re playing in. Whether we go up into the clouds or down into the ocean, it really depends. But the decisions as far as where and when different locations or cities or places above or below get done are based on the story stuff. I think we’ll want to play in each and every one of them. The bigger point is that these guys know and love the Forgotten Realms. Same thing in terms of our Tyranny of Dragons story, with Icewind Dale and that island off of Icewind Dale that was the perfect place for the Cult of the Dragon to be hidden in plain sight. If the bigger story we’re telling has those flavor components, then that’s a great choice. You can have people from out in the hinterlands or coming through on ships, a very cosmopolitan port. It’s the New York or San Francisco, with all these cultures clashing. I like to take Waterdeep as an example of a great hub of culture and everything. It’ll become way more apparent as we roll out each new story theme that we’re telling during this time as to what areas and locations become necessary. We’ll be telling stories together for a long time. We have a long-term partnership together. We have a long tail planned for supporting it. Which means with 5 players the DM can't control things at all, or everyone gets to constantly mash the pause key to give out orders of what they control, but without the order of having actual turns, making this into a cluster fuck.Stewart: I think a theme there is that this is the base game. The Combat looks to use that pseudo real time that NWN and Baldurs Gate used.Here look at how complex the graphics are, this isn't something you throw togheter in 20 minutes before the game.

You can literally make your maps in almost the same time it takes to draw them on a game mat.

One of your PC wants to play a class/race not in the game? Well fuck you. Coz there's none of those on the Sword Coast).

The game limits you - You'll be limited to the tilesets that come with the game (So hope you didn't want a desert.

There's no part of the system they can't really accomodate.

No need for someone to 3D model the thing. Want a new monster? Just import its portrait as a token.

They can be completely divorced from the system or merged with it to one's desire, meaning house rules, new monsters and classes are no obstacle.

They use grids for maps, so it's easy to see where people can move.

There's a reason existing tools succeed and this has none of them: I don't see this picking up as a DM tool.
