[QUOTE="David Howery, post: 9427953, member: 17239"] I never really regarded her as a villain in the whole thing, and we all owe her our gratitude in selling TSR to WOTC. But. I still will give her grief over the whole Buck Rogers thing. It might 'have been worth a shot', but it was obvious early on that it wasn't doing well, and should have been dropped a lot sooner than it was. I also don't hold to the idea that EGG was some kind of business genius either, it was pretty obvious early on that he wasn't (the craft company screw up you mentioned in your first post is one example)... another bad idea was trying to publish some of SPI's defunct games. I can remember way back in 80 or 81 one of EGGs editorials in Dragon talking about how they looked around and found a way to print modules cheaper than they had been, and wondered why they hadn't before. I always had the idea that neither EGG nor Williams were all that sharp as business leaders.... [/QUOTE]
