So what did you read he's personal publicist's press release.Sure what you say is true but so are a lot of other things.Like how he uses his media empire to push his own liberal views,how he hates christinaity to the point that he divorced his wife over it.


Hating Christianity is no worse than hating Witchcraft. In fact I find it a lot healthier - Witchcraft hasn't killed many people.

He owns a wrestling league, the atlanta braves and Big chunk of Aol/Time Warner.When he bought MGM the first thing he did was colorize all the great classics that he could so he could show them on his cable network.
Many years ago he won the America's Cup The premeire prize in Yahting. D&D would be like a prize to him to flaunt in front of the christians he hates so much.The couple of measly millions that the game could generate for him would not be enough for this billionaire to bother continuing to publish new gaming material he would merely be his new toy intil he sold yet again.

He quite obviously does not care about money. D&D would be quite safe under him, I would imagine.

OK... who would be the WORST possible people to own DnD?

- TSR

more?

It would depend on who was running TSR. If it was Peter Adkison, yay. Gary Gygax, kinda yay. (I tend to agree more with Adkison than Gygax - don't get me wrong, Gary is great, I just don't always agree with his ideas and opinions.) If it was Lorraine Williams, I'd have to hide within the soft, soft folds of my protective blanket of fear. (With apologies to Scott Kurtz for that last.)

Ted and WotC

Ya know, there are rumors about a Forgotten Realms syndicated TV show floating about the web. Check out scifi.com and your other regular genre news sources, if you haven't head about it.

I think it'd be hysterical if Teddy was talking to WotC about putting the FR TV show on his network, rather than all this silliness about him buying D&D ... he IS a TV/media mogul you know... that would make far more sense to me than him flat out BUYING D&D.

I guess stranger things have happened, though. If he can give a billion to the UN, I s'pose it isn't much for him to buy our game just to spite somebody. He'd apologize for it a week later, and give it to PA.

...My question is... and? What exactly is wrong with being anti-religous?

Not a thing, in my opinion.

I certainly think the Pope telling people not to wear rubbers is definitely more stupid, evil, and irresponsible than calling the Pope stupid, evil and irresponsible.

Preach on Brother Tleilaxu! ;)

I know this isn't the place. I stop now. Me bad

Look elsewhere man, I'm not going to stop you:)

Chicken Little
Narrated especially for Harris, by his Dad
(who would rather be there in person) Click on the chick

One day Chicken Little was walking in the woods when -- KERPLUNK -- an acorn fell on her head
"Oh my goodness!" said Chicken Little. "The sky is falling! I must go and tell the king."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On her way to the king's palace, Chicken Little met Henny Penny. Henny Penny said that she was going into the woods to hunt for worms.
"Oh no, don't go!" said Chicken Little. "I was there and the sky fell on my head! Come with me to tell the king."

So Henny Penny joined Chicken Little and they went along and went along as fast as they could.

Soon they met Cocky Locky, who said, "I'm going to the woods to hunt for seeds."

"Oh no, don't go!" said Henny Penny. "The sky is falling there! Come with us to tell the king."

So Cocky Locky joined Henny Penny and Chicken Little, and they went along and went along as fast as they could.

Soon they met Goosey Poosey, who was planning to go to the woods to look for berries.

"Oh no, don't go!" said Cocky Locky. "The sky is falling there! Come with us to tell the king." So Goosey Poosey joined Cocky Locky, Henny Penny and Chicken Little, and they went along as fast as they could.

Then who should appear on the path but sly old Foxy Woxy.

"Where are you going, my fine feathered friends?" asked Foxy Woxy. He spoke in a polite manner, so as not to frighten them.

"The sky is falling!" cried Chicken Little. "We must tell the king."

"I know a shortcut to the palace," said Foxy woxy sweetly. "Come and follow me."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But wicked Foxy Woxy did not lead the others to the palace. He led them right up to the entrance of his foxhole. Once they were inside, Foxy Woxy was planning to gobble them up!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Chicken Little and the others were about to go into the fox's hole, they heard a strange sound and stopped.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It was the king's hunting dogs, growling and howling.
How Foxy Woxy ran, across the meadows and through the forests, with the hounds close behind. He ran until he was far, far away and never dared to come back again.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that day, Chicken Little always carried an umbrella with her when she walked in the woods. The umbrella was a present from the king. And if -- KERPLUNK -- an acorn fell, Chicken Little didn't mind a bit. In fact, she didn't notice it at all.

The End

I wouldn't call them rumors, given that they've been posted to Wizards' own site.

R A Salvatore has also confirmed that he's writing a "treatment" for the series - I'm not sure exactly what that entails, though.
