of the Book". Moderated by Geoff Keighley, editor of Game

games like "Betrayal at Krondor", "Planet's Edge", and the
upcoming Cavedog Entertainment title, "Amen: the Awakening". Jane Jensen
is a writer for Sierra Online, and has been the creative driving force behind
their hit Gabriel Knight
series, as well as the recent novel, Millennium Rising. Marc Laidlaw is also a
novelist, and is Valve Software's secret weapon behind their highly addictive
Half-Life series.
Lorelei Shannon,
a writer and sculptor, has written for Sierra Online for a number of years, and
her talents were featured in games like King's Quest VII and Phantasmagoria: A
