[QUOTE="CinnamonPixie, post: 4429403, member: 59187"] Forgiven. ;) For the record I agree with you. I think what Wizards has done to them (allowing the license to produce Dragonlance material to lapse and effectively barring them (MWP) from putting out material for the world that they created) to be downright shameful, arrogant, and petty. They (WotC/Hasbro) have little to no interest in the world, but they are so scared of competition (and that is my opinion and belief as to their motivation behind many of these kinds of actions they've been doing ever since shortly after 3.5 was released (when they started working on 4e and started to turn away from the gaming community in general - incidentally I think this is around the time that Hasbro bought WotC and made it a part of a corporate machine and they lost that "small company of gamer-geeks" mindset)) and the risk of having to do business in a market with it that they'd essentially pull a coup against her/them much the way that certain parties did to Gygax years ago to kill off Greyhawk to ensure Forgotten Realms wouldn't have to compete with new products for it. Truly sad that Dragonlance is effectively dead in the water now... Maybe MWB will be able to get some sort of license deal worked out (if they've even got an interest in doing that - since it'd likely require them to make everything for 4e) and we'll see more material for the world come out. It'd be a shame if they couldn't do something for their fans. I've got some friends that are HUGE DL fans and they're heartbroken over how this has been done. They've said it's enough to make them not move to 4e... I don't know if that'll last or or not... They're pretty big RPGA (well, were until Living City and Living Death ended, anyhow) gamers.
