[QUOTE="cybertalus, post: 386404, member: 4400"] First and foremost do whatever it takes to rehire Sean K. Reynolds. Give him enough authority that people in the company have to listen to him. Set up a company-run DM training course. Hire the best graduates of these classes to DM games in the WotC stores at no charge to the players. If the above proves popular enough, replicate it online using custom-created software in the vein of OpenRPG. Spin the Forgotten Realms off into a seperate company which I still own. Double the number of Realms gaming products released in a year. Launch a bi-monthly Realms-only magazine in the vein of Dragon, but also including at least one adventure each issue. Branch the novels division out into non-RPG related fantasy. Try to build it into a top publisher of fantasy fiction. For companies who wish to focus their skills on producing the flavor text of their products, maintain a couple of designers who are well versed in rules issues and are available to be contracted out to do rules work. I like the suggestions others have made about TV commercials, cartoons, and action figures as well. The only thing I would add would be supplements and adventures specifically tied to the cartoons. Perhaps too a battlemat which allowed the action figures to be used as minis. [/QUOTE]
