Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an Action RPG developed by Big Huge Games (Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends) and 38 Studios, founded by baseball legend Curt Schilling and named after his jersey number. The game features the efforts of three "visionaries": a story written by fantasy author R.A. Salvatore, a lead artist in Todd McFarlane and it's lead designer Ken Rolston. Schilling, a long-time MMO gamer, provided the money... or, at least, somebody's money.
