[QUOTE="Nikchick, post: 239925, member: 344"] Thanks Rounser. I'm as disappointed as anyone that I was right about Chainmail, but the writing was on the wall, I'm afraid. And this announcement comes with the Core Book laid out and greens of miniatures ready to be cast. Sad, sad, sad. I think Lisa Stevens is the name Morrus was trying to come up with re: the periodicals buyout. (Lisa is a former co-worker from my Lion Rampant/White Wolf days and was WotC's Employee #1; she's as gamer as gamers get, so if she's bankrolling in the periodicals division, there's no fear that it will be overrun with corporate wonks, at least.) As I understand it, the whole staff of the periodicals division was purchased, lock stock and (two smoking) barrel(s), so there's essentially no change in what you all should expect wrto the magazines. In fact, I personally would consider the periodicals to be in a much *safer* and more stable position now that they're not controlled by WotC/Hasbro any longer. My opinion is that WotC's selling everything that's not bolted down, and they can put as much pleasant spin on it as they want but the result is the same. Nicole [/QUOTE]
