Dragonshard Community Update #6

This is a direct copy from the Dragonshard Community Update Mailing List.

Hi Dungeoncrawlers,

It's time for our weekly Dragonshard update. "For those of you had not had a chance, there is still time to sign up for the Beta Test. Check out dragonshard.com for the details." We will have another in our series of wallpapers out very soon. And as as always here is what our friends at Liquid had to say in response to your questions this week:

Enjoy!

THE DM: How much involvement does the creator of Eberron, Keith Baker have in the developement of Dragonshard?

LIQUID:

Keith Baker has provided us with our initial story line and some main characters, as well as the world of Eberron as the foundation for the world we move in. So captains like the Warforged and Artificers are direct from his world of Eberron.

THE DM: Are all the D&D classes available in Dragonshard?

LIQUID: Most of them are represented with captains and soldiers, yes. I think the only one that didn't manage to get in as a player character was the bard class. And that is mostly because a bard is an "all-in-one" character in D&D that performs all sorts of roles. In an RTS, where units need to have solid roles and counters in order for combat outcomes to be clear, a unit that is "jack-of-all-trades" doesn't really fit in. There are NPC bards, however, so we still managed to get them in the game.
