[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3411258, member: 2477"] Never actually seen an official statement as to the profitability. For myself, I found the lack of quality of Ravenloft 3e to be the determining factor. Dragonlance seems to be doing fine and their products are generally of better quality. In addition, "not making enough money" is different from "not making money". They might have just not been making enough money for it to be worth their trouble. I'd say it's definetly a skewed poll, and I think the divisive nature of GH fans would mean that even if it was the prefered setting, you'd never get something publishable to appeal to enough of them. That, for me, is the clincher. With RL they retained some characters, plus they ran the novels themselves. With Greyhawk, if they retained the main characters, I'm not sure what of GH could be useful. Really, I'd say the better bet would be for the Mona Gang to bug WotC into publishing a book that they'd write, rather than any attempt to get any rights and publish it themselves. [/QUOTE]
