(i.e. nothing ever went to court).Since both parties are under the terms of an NDA I can't go into specifics. Not that it matters. It pretty much seems to be common knowledge although most accounts have the details wrong on many levels.The fact that we have a good working relationship with WotC and have had over fifty books (both HackMaster and Dungeons and Dragons 3E) approved through WotC speaks for itself, I think.As for our contracts with Dragon for KODT I should point out that we weren't under theh standard boiler plate contracts TSR/WotC usually worked under with freelancers.I negotiated my own terms prior to joining KenzerCo in 1996 expressley having the parts pertaining to the assignment of 'electronic rights' removed. Later Dave Kenzer renegotiated those same contracts to further ensure the ownership of the strips were clearly defined. I'm just pointing it out because a lot of the speculation surrounding a 'lawsuit' over the Dragon CD  seems to assume we were under the same contract as other freelancers. That's certainly not the case.I understand the speculation but I hope you understand why we're not at liberty to divulge details. I just wanted to shed a little light on the situation where I could.</blockquote>
