HomeLAN caught up with Troika's Tim Cain for a quick chat regarding their upcoming Dungeons and Dragons RPG, Greyhawk: The Temple Of Elemental Evil. They look at everything from the quests to the combat system. Here's a taste:

HomeLAN - What can you tell us about the graphics engine that the game will use?
Tim Cain - We are using our new graphics engine, with beautiful 3D characters set against wonderfully detailed pre-rendered backgrounds. 3D characters let us have a large number of animations to support different character actions while at the same time let us have a large number of armor and equipment variations. Likewise, the pre-rendered backgrounds let us capture all of the the detail of the original module locations. The combination of these techniques works perfectly for D&D 3E and ToEE.
