For example the official comics published by different companies. The solution I have suggested is allowing alternate timelines in the D&D multiverse, and even creating a new setting focused in the chronomancers and the "time spheres". This also could allow 3PPs to create their own stories or art with famous characters, promoting these as brand, for example a story where a character from Gamma World dies and her soul is reincarnated in a irda (race from Dragonlance) and potential lover of Raitslin, and mother of her future daughter. Really they are in a "akasha realm", a "clone world" created by the collective memories, something like the zone visited by the half-elf in the novel "Tanis the shadow years".Sometimes the retcons and reboot and necessary but a total erasure of the lore may be too risky. Would you buy any novel when you suspects those characters will disappear in a future reboot?If they want to republish old novels...are these to be rewritten? Maybe some details to be changed because today the rules are different, for example about when the elves get old and longevity.</blockquote>
