[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9651421, member: 6716779"] You've served up a very biased account. Very few ex TSR alumni seem to have nice things to say about Lorraine. A few say something to the effect she wasn't as bad as the internet claims and she had sone positive points. She arguably drained TSR money herself with Buck Roger's. Gary wasn't good at business he also wasn't in charge lije Lorraine was It's no big secret around here I like Lorraine's era better in terns of product. Gary buried her but she had here own issues as well even if you ignore Gary's worst accusations. Gary also came from nothing essentially. Struck gold and messed it up. Lorraine cane from money theoretically should have known better. Gary was a jackass we knew that long before new books came out. At least if you paid attention to various interviews. Doesn't make Lorraine a saint either. None of us were there and it often cones down to who liked who in interviews. Lorraine bought D&D a decade or so though. [/QUOTE]
