The Boston Globe picked up a nice little article which drops a few hints on what’s going on in the minds of 38 studios:

“But a stroll through the company’s offices revealed hundreds of sketches of creatures who seem to have come from central casting in Middle Earth. The designers are planning for 12 species or “races” in the game, and while they may not be called elves or orcs or dragons, there is certainly a family resemblance.”

I don’t have much to say on the article other than the obvious “wait and see” advice.  I’m a big fan of several of the guys at 38 and I think they’ve got a solid plan, but I’m more than happy to wait out the next few years to determine if they’ve got a game I want to play.

EDIT:  And of course, Cuppy beat me to it.  Oh well, back to preparing for Vegas.
