[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 7779489, member: 6669048"] Unless it's from someone who actually works at Bethesda, it's pure speculation. Bethesda (via its official Elder Scrolls Online social media accounts) posted the links to the adventure and pre-gen PCs, all of which are written as if they're to be run by someone who did not write the adventure. The original tweet and Facebook post (with dead links removed) was: [HQ]Our friends over at @ [.] Bethesda_nl put together an amazing ESO tabletop RPG adventure! Check it out and be sure to let us know if you try it [finger-pointing-down emoji][/HQ] (I added the period to the Twitter tag to Bethesda Netherland's Twitter account because it was tagging a forum user by mistake) This was posted not just on any "fanwork" social media, but the official social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter - you know, the ones that report server outages and updates and promotions. And the fact of the matter is we're probably never going to know exactly what happened. Bethesda has no reason to come forward and explain the situation over just letting the story die down and drown it in promotion for the new expansion for ESO instead. The only way it'll become public is if Wizards of the Coast files a lawsuit against Bethesda over it, which is highly unlikely since Bethesda took down the files and posted a retraction (if any legal action were to take place, it'd be Bethesda paying a token amount to WotC for lost revenue on the DDAL adventure via arbitration).
