I saw the book on le "Valet de Coeur" shelves yesterday.
It looks great and have pretty "vile" drawings in it. Unfortunately, I ordered mine on amazon so i will have to wait.
The store has its web site at levalet.com
I second Mistwell, in my experience company acquisition are always kept secret from the staff until the deal and the due diligence are completed, when its done....
Anyway, I'm sure that the D&D brand will proper whoever is the owner.
Later
I have to disagree here, I work in a litigation boutique and the money is quite good, well good enough to buy all those spanky & expensive new Wotc D&D books... :D
I have been doing commercial litigation for five years now up north in Canada.
I also have to thank D&D, it helped me with a few things that I now use: learning english (I'm from quebec, their was not much french D&D book 15 years ago), reading till my eyes bleed :eek: , and most of all argue...
