[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7825278, member: 6670153"] And they stopped allowing him to do their novels as well. If Ed Greenwood got 1% of the revenue generated by the Forgotten Realms he'd be able to retire instead of working at a Library. He is too nice a person for his own good, I wish he would stand up to WotC and demand better treatment and a better deal. I mean not only is the Forgotten Realms their most popular setting, it's the bedrock that D&D 5e was built on, the default setting, it's the setting of most of D&D's most successful video games, its largest, longest running novel lines, including how many best sellers? Also minis, and comic books and so much more. And that is before FR gets a movie/TV adaption that we all know is coming. I mean if the idiots in Hollywood would get it together FR could be the new MCU/Star Trek/star Wars Setting. And that would generate potentially billions in revenue. Of which Ed Greenwood gets nothing as founder and Shepherd, and mentor and inspiration of the Forgotten Realms. They ripped Ed Greenwood off as far as I'm concerned. He's like Gene Roddenberry, but without the business instincts. [/QUOTE]
