[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 3477658, member: 6957"] I believe it was in their printed advertising flier, and on their forums, but I am way too lazy to go digging for something that, frankly, was not all that important to me. If you prefer to think of it as fan speculation then go right ahead. Heck, maybe my memory [i]is[/i] being faulty. But I do remember it, I want to say that it was Justin Achilles, but again I could be wrong. Not just the Gazetteers either - sales of the 3.5 updated player's guide, DM's Guide, and critter books were also sluggish (and according to some sources badly edited as well). Renaming the player's book also did not help. Cutting their losses at that point made sense - I do not fault either WW or WotC in this instance. Finding fault with WW for what they did to the Storyteller rules on the other hand... that I can do. :p (I like the changes to the setting alright, but hate the new rules.) If you have a limited pool of creative designers then it is best to put them where you think they will do the most good - and since WoD belongs to WW then that is more profit that can go in your pocket. And I believe that you can still get the Ravenloft PDFs on DTRPG. And on to a semi-related topic... Did Paizo and Weiss get their licenses at the same time? I am not remembering that point clearly at all. If so, then it is possible that this is a literal coincidence. The licenses ended together because they were made at the same time. I am far more annoyed with the Dragon and Dungeon situation than the DL one, I have actually been buying Dungeon lately, hooked by Savage Tides. I have not done more than glance at the DL books.
