One thing in that public Facebook post, buried in the comments, is a statement that seems to clarify something I suspected earlier.
So, it looks like regarding the will, based on that statement (which I assume refers to the will Luke wants validated, as there are two filed), regardless of the situation, it's appears that EGG left control of the IP over to Gail, which is the outcome I always predicted.
So this battle isn't about control over Gary's unpublished work, nor would a court case suddenly give any of the kids the rights to print Gary's out of print work.
Question from another: Luke Gygax, If you prevail with the will, does Gail no longer have ownership rights to the D&D show material?
Answer: that’s not determined yet. The Will leaves life rights of all IP to Gail. IP often includes artwork. Also Gail was witness and executor which may be problematic legally..
