It's like the saying about bankruptcy- it happened gradually, then suddenly. But TSR was pumping out products (literally pumping them out) into 1997, when it collapsed and was bought by WoTC. But for most observers, this was shocking ... as in, that card company is busing TSR? The biggest game company? The one with that also has all those books on the shelves that people read?That said, for those of who remember TSR fondly, it's for a good reason. In fact, pretty much everything 5e does is simply mining the IP of TSR or M:TG. That's it.So sure, Hasbro has done an amazing job of mining the amazing creative streak of TSR and repackaging it for modern audiences, and also in cross-promoting M:TG and D&D by combining the IP in many ways to leverage more money out of consumers, but given how much of 5e is explicitly premised on regurgitating the past, I'm not sure your comment makes a ton of sense- especially because it denigrates a lot of amazing creatives who produced products from 1974-1997. IMO.</blockquote>
