Another possibility is that Lanasa thought that a pie in the sky idea and that the realistic result of initiating the lawsuit was control of the old TSR name and logos* and being able to somehow make money off the clearly-untapped market of reactionary grognards**. It really depends on how delusional they are. Just on the track record of having existing businesses, my take has been that Lanasa is a petty schemer who's had money-making gambits work out in the past before, and decided to go big and ended up played a bad hand. I don't know which is more plausible. What I don't want to do is underestimate people because I think they are awful. *which I can see a reasonable person thinking possible, even though TM law doesn't actually work that way**which, if that were the case, you'd think Pundy and some of the other 'big names' in reactionary gamerdom would be, y'know, actually big names.</blockquote>
