Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 7667409" data-attributes="member: 18182">The question is, does WotC have complete rights to the material produced by Arthaus (Ravenloft, Gamma World)? Why do you think the "contract" would be any different for the Dragonlance material published by MWP and the Ravenloft material published by Arthaus? Both are important IP owned by WotC and both were licensed during the same "era".Plus, Arthaus, being a imprint of White Wolf, which is directly connected to DriveThru (the companies are all related, although not sure how tightly anymore), makes it more likely we WILL see the Ravenloft material even if WotC doesn't have complete rights. Or at least, I would think.Neither company will probably tell us the details of the licensing and rights, but I'm confident we'll see Ravenloft and maybe even Gamma World material from Arthaus up on DriveThru at some point in the future.Neither situation is exactly like the Rokugan material produced by AEG. At the time the 3E Oriental Adventures hardback was published, WotC owned full rights to the Legend of the Five Rings game and IP. But soon after publication, they sold those rights to AEG and AEG started a d20 line of Five Rings/Rokugan products using the D&D Oriental Adventures ruleset. AEG has most (all?) of the d20 Five Rings line available on PDF on DriveThru, but the 3E Oriental Adventures hardback is not available, by AEG or WotC. I kinda doubt we'll see that book, although there's no reason why AEG and WotC couldn't come to an arrangement to let it happen. I just doubt anyone at WotC is motivated enough to make it so.</blockquote>
