[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4599229, member: 10177"] True. Unfortunately I am not a fan of Gary's novels. I tried out the Gord series and found it lacking, so do not feel a need to try out any more of his novels. For me its all about the role playing games, the memories his works gave me and am sure they will continue to create for me. Still, I only bought and tried LA because it had his name on it and a lot of his flavor, but I still think the LA system sucks, so despite having his name on it, and being written by him, I didn't buy any more, just like I did with Mythus. So I was never a fan who bought it because his name on it, well I was, but I only kept buying more if I liked it. With Mythus, LA, and his Gord novels I felt no desire to buy more. With Castle Zagyg I did. With his World Builder series I did. So for me Gygax Games will be just another RPG company. They won't have any favoritism shown to them by me because of Gary's name. I'll have to hear others say how good or bad their Castle Zagyg is before I will check it out. I will no longer buy it sight unseen. So if they do good work I'll buy it, but if not I won't. If Gary wrote it I would buy it sight unseen and decide for myself. Now if people say it is crap like they said about Yggsburgh I won't buy it for myself and find out for myself that they are wrong. Now I will take their word for it and not find out if I think they are wrong or right for myself. That may not seem like much, but any small business owner who "knows" business realizes such a thing does make a difference in their sales. At this point I do wish Gail would "retire" the whole business and leave it be. Its a fine legacy as is. If they continue to do good works in Gary's name, that will be better, but far from necessary.
