[QUOTE="vox, post: 313594, member: 2690"] To the best of my knowledge, WOTC is wholly owned by Hasbro. It is a part of Hasbro. Hasbro approves all WOTC content or it isn't published. It is like "Olive Garden" is part of Darden Restaurants. Malhavoc is not owned by White Wolf. They have some sort of distribution agreement with White Wolf. White Wolf does not have any editorial authority or any real input in what Malhovoc puts out. The most White Wolf could do would be to refuse to distribute Malhavoc products if they had a problem with them. Malhavoc could distribute them through other vendors. Small press publishers almost universally use larger distribution houses to sell their books. It just so happens that White Wolf is a distribution house and a publishing house so it is a little confusing but I am almost certain that White Wolf has no editorial say in Malhavoc products and the connection between the two companies is limited to a distribution deal. On another note, Piratecat posted (a link to?) the referenced Chick track a while back. It was very funny. Satirizing something that is so obviously ridiculous isn't so funny to me. I'm not offended, I just thought, "I'd like to read that Chick track again, that was funny--this is just something that reminds me of something funny". -vox (who really just knows what he reads about Malhavoc on the Monte website, but I'm still pretty sure I'm right). Oh, and if I wrote all this but misspelled Malhavoc, then it's Monte Cook's fault for not having a wizard named "Ted" or something sensible like that. [/QUOTE]
