[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5986954, member: 1210"] Sad but true. I'd say that, barring a Hasbro bankruptcy, there is literally zero chance of this ever happening. So the little guys beg, borrow and scrape to do what bankrupted TSR by trying to support everything at once? Your plan, while beautiful in a sort of "fan service" way (and boy would that be awesome!), is horribly impractical from a business perspective. Why would Paizo give up their position as the upstart industry maverick when it's doing them so well, for instance? If anyone did manage to make Hasbro an offer they couldn't refuse for D&D, they would [i]have[/i] to make it profitable in order to pay back the loans. Supporting every D&D evar with new print products is expensive and unlikely to pay off as well as focusing on a single line of stuff, perhaps with pdf sales of old material. OTOH I could see an occasional old-skool release as a viable option, perhaps. [/QUOTE]
