    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    I was simply pointing it out to everyone that no mention of financials was made in the only official announcement of the product lines' ending. Many folks may have never seen the original announcement. I was backing you up with hard evidence! :)

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    Here's the text of the WOTC RL announcement as posted on the Arthaus/WW/Sword and Sorcery site: PS -- As can be determined by the date, this was well over a year ago. Since the license reverted to WoTC, both the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft product and redone versions of selected RL novels...

    Cleave on an AoO?

    Becoming a RPG Writer

    I always find it really interesting that most of the people who respond to these questions are people who have had success at finding freelance work in the RPG industry... And people who have no luck don't take the time to at least poke a nose where it doesn't belong... I've been trying to...
