KP can make whatever they feel is best for them, and I know there will be an audience for them.  And that's great.  But it was just that one comment that struck me as... "Really?  You think you deserve to own a piece of the Dungeons & Dragons brand just cause you love it that much?"  It just seemed a silly comment.  But no harm, no foul.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
