[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 6596139, member: 907"] I don't know exactly what's in the contracts between Wizards and Kobold Press/Sasquatch, but I would be very surprised if that was true. Hoard, Rise, and Princes are all published by Wizards of the Coast. Theirs is the name on the cover. I would be incredibly surprised if Kobold/Sasquatch have any ongoing financial interest in the success of the adventures (other than professional pride and being considered for doing more stuff, of course). The figure comes from an old interview with or post from Ryan Dancey, who said that (paraphrased because I can't be hedgehogged into finding the actual source - google Ryan Dancey Wizards 50 million) Hasbro divides brands into three categories: those that make $100M or more which get pretty much all the support they want, those that make $50M to $100M which get some support with the goal of bringing them up to $100M+, and those making less than $50M which they pretty much don't want to deal with. I do remember that the statement was made quite a few years ago, and it's possible that Hasbro has changed their policies since then. [/QUOTE]
