Tracy Hickman Joins the Shroud of the Avatar Team

The latest bit of news posted to the Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarter page is exciting indeed: Tracy Hickman, author of the Dragonlance novels, has joined the Portalarium team as Lead Story Designer.

International and New York Times Best-selling fantasy author Tracy Hickman is pleased to announce that he is joining Richard Garriott’s team as Lead Story Designer for ‘Shroud of the Avatar.’

“There is a tremendous opportunity to create something meaningful, challenging and wondrous in Shroud of the Avatar,” Tracy said. “I’m thrilled to play a part in it.”

“Tracy is not only a good friend, but also a master storycrafter whose writing I’ve greatly admired for over twenty years,” says Richard Garriott. “Tracy’s talent will add a unique richness and depth to Shroud of the Avatar.”

It would seem that endorsement of the game that Hickman gave a few days ago was…more than just nice words!
