Schilling, McFarlane, and Salvatore Team Up For Green Monster Games |
Ó
Word on the net says that baseball legend and avid MMO fan Curt Schilling is teaming up with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and popular sci-fi/fantasy author R.A. Salvatore to form a new Boston-based video game company called Green Monster Games.
Schilling, who pitches for the Boston Red Sox, is already known for his interest in gaming. He owns a small paper-gaming company called Multi-Man Publishing and was recently turned into an evil NPC in EverQuest II in the name of the ALS Association charity. Schilling has also been a longtime EverQuest player.
The names Todd McFarlane and R.A. Salvatore became associated with Green Monster Games through the job ads the company has posted on various game job sites. McFarlane will apparently be helping the company as the lead artist on their new project, with Salvatore taking on the role of creative director for Green Monster Games's output.
Green Monster Games is apparently named after the 37-foot left field wall at Fenway Park, home to Schilling and the Boston Red Sox. Green Monster Games aims to create what it describes as "industry-changing games."
So far, there have been no concrete news yet on the games that Green Monster Games might be developing. With the weight of the names behind this company, though, it seems not too presumptuous to expect something big once Green Monster Games finally makes their first game announcement.

...this could be a very cool thing if they do this right. I worry that none of them have experience in actual game development...but if the passions there and they get the right experienced people in place...this could rock.
Im a pilot for a small jet charter...
I have flown Kurt Schilling a couple of times in the past 3 years. A year ago, I had flown him to a charity event in Portland, ME. I had noticed that he was carrying the Legacy of the Drow Trilogy. As an old time D+D'r and avid Salvatore fan, I told him that I had just finished that same book. So we started gabbing. That was Kurt's first novel in the Drizzt series, which is not the first novel. But, I started ranting about Salvatore and how he still plays D+D and lives nearby..
Long story short....
Look what happened........kewl...I hope that do well together. I'm hoping to see some movies spawn out of this also.....I wouldn't doubt it...
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE AS TALENTED AS R.A.SALVATORE AS AN AUTHOR TO TEAM UP WITH SOMEONE AS TALENTED AS PETER JACKSON AS A MOVIE MAKER TO WORK ON SOME MOVIES AND BRING R.A.SALVATORES CHARACTER CREATIONS TO THE BIG SCREEN.I THINK SO JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES.I THINK IT SHOULD BE CONCIDERED BY R.A.SALVATORE TO BRING HIS WORLD AND IMAGINATION TO ALL I BELEIVE IT WOULD BE A GREAT SUCCESS.
