Dungeons & Dragons company Wizards of the Coast announced today that it is opening a new studio in Austin, Texas, that will be headed up by former BioWare stalwart James Ohlen. Ohlen left BioWare last year after a 22-year career, during which he amassed design and writing credits including the Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, and Dragon Age: Origins.

As it turns out, he's been working on actual D&D-related tabletop projects since leaving BioWare last year.

It wouldn't surprise me if the new studio will be making video game based on the Dragonlords project!
