In addition to the link that was posted earlier, there is another in 38News.
Quote:
As announced in our recent press release, Electronic Arts has signed an agreement with 38 Studios to publish the entertainment company’s first video game, an RPG code-named Project Mercury.
Project Mercury begins an epic journey into a vast universe created by renowned fantasy author R. A. Salvatore and crafted under the artistic vision of Todd McFarlane. The RPG is being developed by Big Huge Games, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 38 Studios, under the creative leadership of Ken Rolston, lead designer of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Project Mercury sets the stage for limitless adventures in a master-crafted world, which will include the company's upcoming MMO, Copernicus.
Here's a handy assortment of links to read what the press are saying about this exciting RPG partnership announcement.

You can go here to see the links.
I know what first impressions are from some folks - and yes, I'm in that group - but let's read and discuss, ok? If there's comments you'd like to make, go for it, but in the event you have strong feelings, please keep it in according to our creed of keeping things friendly and mature (no, that doesn't mean language rated "M", ok?!).

See if I can spin this before Laeth....
Quote:
R. A. Salvatore, New York Times best-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do'Urden, will be representing 38 Studios at the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this March. Salvatore will be giving his first lecture aimed squarely at the games industry, titled From Fantasy to Franchise: How to Build a Universe Worthy of Devotion. In his own words, Bob will guide attendees through his creative processes and share the lessons he's learned from creating his own iconic body of work.
As one of the visionaries behind 38 Studio's Copernicus IP, Salvatore's uncanny ability to weave imaginative plots and complex themes into visceral and exciting fantasy tales is well-suited to redefining the fantasy MMO genre. In addition to being a gifted and prolific author, Bob is also a long-time gamer who sits on the board of trustees for his local library.
In addition to various speaking engagements, the staff of 38 Studios will be on hand to recruit new team members for our Boston and Baltimore studios. Stop by our booth at the Career Pavilion and say hello!
Speaker: R. A. Salvatore (Author)
Date/Time: Thursday (March 11, 2010) 4:30pm — 5:30pm
Location (room): Room 306, South Hall
Track: Game Design
Format: 60-minute Lecture
Experience Level: All
