First Post
I came across this announcement at wargamer.com. WOTC has a many properties, so I don't know if this has anything to do with D&D.


Wizards of the Coast, the world leader in hobby gaming, and a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), today announced an agreement with leading UK video game developer Stainless Games to produce an exciting new online downloadable game.

“Wizards of the Coast has created many of the most popular brands in roleplaying, trading card and tabletop strategy games” said Patrick Buckland, CEO for Stainless Games.“We’re proud to be working with one of the most treasured IP’s in the games field in a true partnership which will produce a real gaming revolution later next year.”

Details about the game will start to become available in early 2008.

Wizards of the Coast is a worldwide leader in the trading card game and tabletop roleplaying game categories, and a leading developer and publisher of game-based entertainment products. The company holds an exclusive patent on trading card games (TCGs) and their method of play and produces the premier trading card game, MAGIC: THE GATHERING®, among many other trading card games and family card and board games. Wizards is also a leading publisher of roleplaying games, such as DUNGEONS&DRAGONS®, and publisher of fantasy series fiction with numerous New York Times best-sellers. For more information, visit the Wizards of the Coast website at www.wizards.com.

Stainless Games is a privately owned company based on the South Coast of the UK. Although best known for the creation of the multi-million selling Carmageddon franchise, the company has most recently become recognized as one of the world’s leading companies in the burgeoning Console Download market.

Something like Pox Nora, or Bots?

For some reason my first though after reading the original post is that this has something to do with the DI.

Actually, if you look at their website, they mostly make games for Xbox 360 Live Arcade.
 

Moderators please delete this.

I found this press release on a computer rpg site:

Wizards of the Coast issued a press release today announcing that they've chosen UK developer Stainless Games for a new "online downloadable game." One would assume it will be somewhat role-playing related:

Wizards Of The Coast Announces Partnership With Stainless Games

I don't think it can be Star Wars, since Lucasarts still owns electronic IP. Magic or D&D?

Seriously, Wizards is putting a lot of board games and similar on Gleemax.
