[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9498316, member: 6802378"] Sorry, maybe you remember some times I like to rave about crazy ideas or suggestions, and this is one of those. Let me to explain it and forgive me this little off-topic. This novel will be published by Penguin Randon House. This company is the current owner of ediciones B, a division whose origins is in "Editorial Bruguera", a Spanish defunct publishing house. Here the characters from the magazine for children by Bruguera were popular and famous decades, even more superheroes before cinematographic productions. OK, Penguin Randon House is the current owner of Bruguera's IPs. Then here my suggestion is (even if it seems a totally fool idea) is to recycle the characters from Bruguera franchises to publish new titles. For example "la Panda" (by Robert Segura) in a new adventure where they are sent to a fantasy world style D&D and isekai anime (with intentions of adventure + parodic comdy). Why? Because today to reuse forgotten IPs may be easier than starting totally from zero. I guess in the reboot some new girl would be added to te group and that type of changes * My opinion is WotC would rather Penguin Randon House choose the strategy because this knows better the literaty market, and I wouldn't blame them. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/all-gothic-horror/?page=1[/URL] PRH doesn't need the brand "Ravenloft" to sell gothic+horror fiction.
