Matt, I'd love to see the interview/notes with Roth/Stark etc. of Shard of Spring/Demons Winter. (DW is one of my fav's....). Is it something you could put up on AA?

Definitely!

Shame Charles W. Dougherty isn't around/findable to poke about Q1/Q2/LotA/LoB and his whole involvment with SSI/EPYX/EA mix.

And also the "copyright case" around Questrons Ultima-like tile mapping and how SSI resolved this.
Garriott wouldn't say much except that he got a minimal licensing fee per game sold.
But how long did it take? Did they have other options? Why did he do this in the first place?
He had better dungeons - why didn't he put more weight on that? etc. etc.

take care,
Calibrator
