Richard Garriott recruits fantasy game veteran Starr Long for Shroud of the Avatar

Starr Long has teamed up with Ultima creator Richard Garriott again to make what they term as the next big fantasy role-playing game, Shroud of the Avatar.

Long will help Garriott create the new game for Garriott’s latest startup, Portalarium, which raised more than $2 million for the game via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The announcement of Long as executive producer will give the game even more star firepower than the highly anticipated game already had.
