[QUOTE="Travis Henry, post: 7619521, member: 6985696"] Update from the [URL="http://chng.it/gxNVVd4kPZ"]Change.org petition[/URL]. [COLOR=#737273][FONT='inherit']JUN 12, 2019 — [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#363135][FONT='inherit']Today we received a kind note from the fellow whom Jeff entrusted with the manuscript: [I]That's a great offer from Jeff.[/I] [I]Apologies that I never got back to you to update you on my attempts to get back in touch with Wizards - however the main reason for that is because it went frustratingly nowhere. There had been no response, not even an acknowledgment of receipt of email. I was frustrated but I still didn't see it as a reason to "just release it".[/I] [I]I appreciate that your petition is towards Wizards to release the manuscript and I look forward to a positive response from them in that regard.[/I] [I]Yes, the rather large manuscript, is only in hard copy - but I don't see that as a hindrance to moving forward in the case of a positive response from Wizards. --Shawn Stanley [/I](webmaster with the [URL="http://pandius.com/"]Vaults of Pandius[/URL] - The Official Mystara Fan-Site) *** Other updates: The petition has sparked a conversation on fb between Jeff Grubb and Lawrence Schick (the co-author of the original Known World setting): Jeff Grubb: [I]"Well, this is interesting - a petition to release the unpublished (and unfinished (and if I remember unedited)) version of Mystara that I wrote 25 years ago. [...] My, that [petition] escalated quickly."[/I] Lawrence Schick then asked Jeff: [I]"So, do you think this petition has any chance of making anything happen?
