The brains and imagination behind the epic game Tabula Rasa is none other than Richard "Lord British" Garriott, who is best known as the creator of the hugely successful Ultima series of role playing games. It’s a pretty safe assumption to say that he knows what he is doing when it comes to game design and giving players what they want. Tabula Rasa, his latest project in the works, looks like it will give the next generation of gamers exactly what they want, only more elaborate and more engaging. Tabula Rasa is an online massively multiplayer game that pits a coalition of rebel soldiers against the invading xenophobic alien race known as The Bane. The first person action is mixed with the strategy and storytelling depth of a role playing game and all comes together as one in the incredibly large and always active world.
