So what do you do if you’re one of the highest paid, highest profile MMO players of all time? Simple, you get into the business for yourself. And, um, you bring a couple of high-profile friends along.

Schilling knows that, like with baseball, getting a game together is a team effort and has enlisted the help of some other entertainment luminaries. Serving as art director will be Todd McFarlane, creator of the Spawn comic and noted baseball memorabilia junkie. R.A. Salvatore, a fantasy writer who will keynote the upcoming Dark Age of Camelot Roundtable in Las Vegas, will be the publisher’s creative director.

One can only expect the final result to have twisted art, a cliched but reasonably well written story, and a knee-buckling slider.
