John Rhys-Davies to Appear at Dragon*Con 2003 Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Stephen from BTTF.com let us know that the official DragonCon website updated to list Tom Wilson, and in so doing, he noticed that John Rhys-Davies has also been added to the mix. In addition to playing Paladin in Wing Commander 3 & 4, he played Sallah in Indiana Jones, Professor Arturo in Sliders & Gimli in Lord of the Rings. This will be his second Dragon*Con in three years.

Margaret Weis will also make another visit. She will be there as an accomplished author, though Wing Commander fans will recognize her (and her husband, Don Perrin) as a key player in the creation of the Wing Commander Customizable Card Game. Weis and Perrin have made multiple DC visits over the years. You can find a shot of Wing Commander fans mobbing them last year here.

Amazon Date Jumps Up Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

In an unusual twist, the Amazon.com date for Prophecy Advance has jumped up a month. They are now expecting the game to ship on May 13. Although these dates do seem highly tentative, you have to wonder what information they get to move a date up. You can see for yourself here.

Full Privateer Freelancer Mod in the Works Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

TC and Tolwyn keep reminding me that a number of talented fans are ambitiously trying to pull off a big Privateer mod for Freelancer.
Hello, I'm Bob McDob. You may already know me as the "Account ID" guy, or from wcnews, or "the guy who keeps dying in a Rhino" on the Drakhai server. Anyway, my plan is to make a WIng Commander Privateer Mod for FL.
There is already preliminary work on models, thanks to the Wing Commander Universe mod for the open-source Vega Strike engine. Most of the fighters have been completed, however problems have been encountered regarded capital ships. I understand work is progressing on capital ships in FL, but not enough for them to be totally reliable. Nevertheless, we will proceed.
To summarize: If we can work out a project, and consolidate our efforts and procedures to maximize productivity, we shall be victorious, and maybe I can stop talking like Dilbert's boss.
Information on this project is scattered a lit bit as they're in the process of organizing. The original background info can be found in the Lancers Reactor forum here. Most of their efforts are being organized here. Get in touch with the team if you think you can help!
