There's not a lot of baseball memorabilia in Curt Schilling's office in Maynard, but you'll find plenty of swords.
In fact there's long-bladed cutlery all over the place at 38 Studios LLC, the entertainment start-up founded by the Red Sox pitching ace. The swords set the right tone for a company that's developing a new massively multiplayer online fantasy game, or MMO.
But a supply of magic wands might be more useful. There are already plenty of online sword-and-sorcery games — the most popular, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft, boasts 8.5 million players. Besides, 38 Studios won't introduce its offering until 2010; what will the market look like by then?
Hell if I know...believe it or not, I'm actually not THAT nerdy. Liz? You were in Strategy Gaming Club. You must know something about this. Right?
