Lord British, your head is on fire!Richard Garriott, aka Lord British aka General British, will host an in-game event in sci-fi FPS MMO Tabula Rasa tonight.

General British makes frequent appearances in the game; but this is a special event to celebrate the game’s successful launch last Friday

I wanted to quickly do something fun in-game as a thank you to the players who have made this such a smooth launch. We have continued NCsoft’s track record for incredibly successful launches and player interest and excitement is higher than we expected in both North America and Europe.

Lord British, your head is on fire!Richard “Lord British” Garriott, the World’s Greatest Game Designer (sorry, Cliffy B), announced today he will be the first gamer in space.

The designer of the Ultima Series, Ultima Online and Tabula Rasa will visit the International Space Station in Fall 2008, as part of NASA’s Space Adventures program.

Garriott will travel to the space station on the 100th Soyuz mission, TMA-13.

Other millionaires who have signed on space journeys include Santhosh George Kulangara from India (via Virgin Galactic) and Daisuke Enomoto of Japan.

Garriot’s father, Owen Garriott, is a former NASA astronaut who participated in such missions as Skylab and Spacelab-1 in the 1970s and ‘80s.
