[QUOTE="KentDT, post: 7742973, member: 33455"] I was at GaryCon X a couple of months ago and attended a seminar about working with Gary put on by (among others) Stephen Chenault of Troll Lord Games, who was publishing the castle Zagyg stuff for Castles & Crusades (not Crusadors) and Jeffrey Talanian who was working together with Gary in turning his notes into the published books. Essentially Stephen said that after Gary's passing he talked with Gail (Gary's widow) and gave her the option to end the license. A few months later she did and although his company was, at the time, hurt financially by the decision he stood by her right to make it, with no hard feelings. Alex was also at the Con, together with his half brothers and sisters so they seem to get along. Personally I would have rather that, for Gary's legacy, they continue with the license and I'd love to see the stuff updated and put out now for 5e (or at least OSR). I missed it when it was first published, thinking I'd be able to pick up the books when the series was finished. At least I got the Gygaxian world-building books that Gary (with Jeffrey) did. However, we don't know what Gary said to Gail (and Alex) about his legacy and name, his IP, etc. If the people who had the license (Troll Lord Games) say that they are personally fine with how it turned out, then I think we have to accept that. For Gary's legacy we have the excellent GaryCon (mostly done by Luke, but as I said, Alex was there) and maybe Gail will be able to get the monument up and maybe Alex will be able to find success with this project. I hope the best for them. [/QUOTE]
