Actually in the case of names you don't need to.
good point but I didn't mean to speak legally. For me it wouldn't be a legal question, that would be the least of it. Maybe I should have typed 'Blessing' instead of 'Permission'.

Actually I missed the scummy part. Apparently he is actually claiming a trademark for the name Gygax which I don't think is legal nor is even on the PTO website as being registered.good point but I didn't mean to speak legally.

To me this seems like a guy who's trying to capitalize on the name, and taking the opportunity of the news of KQ closing its press doors as further fuel for his business plans. Not saying it's malicious, but it does seem a bit dirty to me personally.
Hi guys, this is Jayson. I'm the editor for Gygax Magazine.

Because being quiet always works so well on the Internet?Hi guys, this is Jayson. I'm the editor for Gygax Magazine.

Jayson - will the new TSR produce other products? Maybe modules or campaign settings? If so, what system would be used?
All our plans for other products will be later on. Right now, the important thing for us is to make the best magazine we can.

Just to address some of the questions, I thought it was best that I leave a reply. We do own the trademark for TSR, and have since December of 2011. We are a new company, not the old TSR, as they were purchased by Wizards in the '90s. The trademark was abandoned about nine years ago, and we registered it in 2011.
We decided the best thing to release first as TSR was a gaming magazine, because we wanted a way to bridge the traditions of the old guard with the awesome new games that are out today.
Feel free to ask me anything you like, I'll do my best to answer!
