EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Chat with Dungeon Siege Developer Chris Taylor
Dungeon Siege promises another revolution in the role-playing genre, with 
seamless transitions from outdoor to indoor environments, and a world whose 
terrain is fully modeled rather than being just wallpaper, from the tops of 
hills to the depths of crevasses and dungeons. Join us May 7th at 6 P.M. PST 
in the Zone Theater Chat Room for a Q&A session with the game's extraverted 
creator, Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games.

Asheron's Call -- A Reign of Stone
The sinister Virindi have expanded their campaign against humanity, making 
dark alliances with the belligerent Lugian giants, whose fortress Linvak 
Tukal has recently been discovered by adventurers. Three new weapons have 
entered circulation: Bloodletter, Fleshripper, and Soulrender. And merchants 
have devised gambling dens to part adventurers from their money. There has 
never been more to do in Asheron's Call! If you haven't entered this amazing 
alternate world, this would be a great time. Power, prestige, and, now, Lady 
Luck await!
