Message: <blockquote data-quote="JohnRTroy" data-source="post: 5170650" data-attributes="member: 2732">Exactly.  One of the reasons I get a little angry is I see people more angry at about what will happen to the material then about the man's family, and this seems to be more from the "old school" die hard fans than the general fans.  (And that's not a complaint about all, just some select people).I mean, regardless of what happens to the material, I think we owe Gail Gygax a great debt, because she helped Gary by forming Trigee, by working a day job to keep putting food on the table (game designing is not a hugely lucrative business) and allowing Gary to create and communicate with fans without compromising his own set of principles.  Even if she has a different interpretation of things than Gary might have chosen, I feel she has earned that right.Yeah, I just want people to realize that there's probably not a hidden room filled to the brim with reams of notebooks.  I suspect that which Gary wrote originally for TSR might be lost, and if its what I expected he avoided detailing Greyhawk after 1986.  The Castle is probably the only thing because he occasionally used it and probably had many levels nearly memorized.From a personal preference, I understand this, because I felt the most purest form of Gary was his own writing.  Yggsburg was probably the last.  I'm not entirely sure why they expanded GFW beyond the 2.5 books he wrote (the first 3, with Living Fantasy IMO being the best).  There's still unpublished work, but a lot of it comes from the period before 2004.  I mean, he pretty much was forced into a very restricted schedule after his stroke and heart attack.  It's just unfortunate that it happened shortly after he decided to tackle the huge project.</blockquote>
