Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Writer Announced

According to an announcement posted earlier today, experienced fantasy writer Dave Gross has joined the team at Overhaul Games to work on Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, which I can only assume means that the extra content they’re adding will be relatively text-heavy.  And yeah, that’s a good thing:

Dave Gross joins as writer for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition

Overhaul Games is happy to announce that Dave Gross has joined the team as a Writer for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Editionâ„¢.

Dave first joined TSR as an editor for Polyhedron Newszine. Later he edited Dungeon and Dragon magazines, while also writing fantasy fiction on the side. His Forgotten Realms novels include Black Wolf and Lord of Stormweather. More recently he’s published Prince of Wolves and Master of Devils for Pathfinder Tales, and was a co-author for Winter Witch.

(I was sitting in a coffee shop complaining about the lack of classic RPGs for the iPad,) says Dave, (when Trent appeared in a sulphurous cloud and said, ‘˜Have I got a job for you.’)

While the opportunity to play his favorite RPGs on a tablet was strong incentive, Dave says the most exciting part is working with a talented team whose knowledge of games and the Realms makes him insist they take the front in marching order.

Anyone familiar with this guy’s work?
