Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

Why can't someone in WotC "leak" some information or something? There has to be someone that wants to and can easily get away with it by stating it anonymously.

This is why I could never work in the desiging departments of WotC. As a hardcore fan of the game and its customer base, I'd have leaked a lot of information already by now, anonymously.

In the long run, I'd probably get caught but it'd be for the greater good!

Suprised the folk at WotC don't realize the NDA doesn't do any good if no one knows who spilled the beans.

Hmm...I wonder if I can find a way to become a corporate spy at WotC...?
 

Hasbro selling D&D... interesting scenarion...

who would buy it?

EDIT: who bought it? if they are "folding back their extensions" it means someone has already made an offer.

What's weird is that we don't really have "reporters" in this industry.

For example, in the comic book industry you have ComicBookResources.com and Newsarama with actual paid reporters who go out and get stories. Both of those companies have personal contacts inside the major comic book publishers (Marvel and DC) who leak information.

We just don't have anything like that in this industry. EnWorld is the best we have, and it does a great job, but the money just isn't there to be paying reports to work hard to dig up the story when something like this comes around.

Ah well, we will just have to wait for official news.
 

As for the GenCon/D&D expereince thing, why shouldn't they hold major announcements for the event they run? It gives more validity to their event, and it allows them more control over the information and how it is presented. GenCon used to be the official con because it was run by TSR. Now it isn't. Its nostalgic to think that big announcements should be made at GenCon and nowhere else.

We should step in now and put them down, then divide up Wizards among ourselves. I'd say that the commies get Magic ;)

Nah, nobody wants a war. Let them have Poland. I'm sure they'll be satisfied with that and leave everyone else alone.

Games Workshop is probably the only game company rich enough to buy D&D. And if you think things are bad now... :confused:

Didn't White Wolf already do that with their "A Game of Thrones" RPG?

Or is this a different series by GRRM?

There was a Game of Thrones RPG by a company called Guardians of Order. But they went bankrupt after the first book had been released, so the licence went back to GRRM.

This is the same series. The series is called "A Song of Ice and Fire", the first book's title is "A Game of Thrones".

Not even. Games Workshop is in a world of financial hurt lately. Have been for a good five years or so now.

I heard some other folks talking about Blizzard. Granted, that was pure speculation without the tiniest crumb of confirming evidence, but it was an intriguing idea anyway.
