The Archmage? Is this some black metal band?
Interesting. I wonder if we'll see the rise of two competing (in the eyes of the fans) FR cannon with this. On one side the Greenwood material and on the other the WotC material.
I would imagine that WotC probably doesn't care either way and would be more than fine with that...
So if Ed creates a "new" Greenwood Realms timeline, WotC will probably say "thank you!!!"

Go to Candlekeep forums and see what some fans think about that.Neither Greenwood nor WOTC dictate FR canon.
Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of fans will put Ed's product above WotC's. We've seen with 4e that people won't buy FR stuff just because the FR logo is on it, so some fans could stop buying WotC's FR AP because they are clashing with Ed's take on the FR. They will get some revenues from DmG, but the bread and butter are the APs. Perkins said they want to sell 100,000+ copies per book. Ed could be a problem. Especially if he sells his PDFs 3 or 4 dollars a pop. 50% of that ain't much cash for WotC even if Ed sells maybe copies. Heck, maybe WotC will take less of the revenues since he is Ed Greenwood.
Its gonna be interesting to follow.
