Decipher Interview at ME Vault
DarthCaeser @ 4:02 pm EST

The Middle-Earth Vault at IGN has posted an interview with Steven Long from Decipher:

"[ME Vault:] How close to completion is the game, how long has production been going on?

Steve: Because most of the RPG Studio has been busy with our new Star Trek RPG games, production has only been going on for about the past two months, off and on, and the only person working on it so far has been me. (However, two of our designers, Matt Colville and Ken Hite, have been working on our LOTR Adventure Game, a boxed game containing a highly simplified version of the RPG, to be released in November.) So far I have written about 40% of the core rulebook, including most of the character creation rules. Soon we'll be ramping up to full-scale production, bringing in the other writers and getting everything completed quickly so that Christian Moore and I can begin the development process." [More]
