[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 8319587, member: 6976536"] That's why I'm keeping up with the Saga of New TSR - there are so many ways combining the name Gygax with the company name TSR could have turned into a license to print decent money, and they mostly involve 'don't screw up badly' and 'get some decent (not even great) product under the name'. Making copyright claims on art that is clearly owned by Hasboro (the takedown threats against the fan group using 1e art and old TSR logo) is past anything I would have expected. The earlier stuff could be described as 'shooting yourself in the foot', but this is 'shooting the giant creature that's immune to bullets until it gets pissed at you' level of screwing up. My outlook started with 'this sounds interesting, oh cool Larry Elmore art is instantly recognizable,' moved to 'are they about to crash and burn', then rapidly to 'how will the inevitable crash and burn play out' and now is at 'will they do something even more self-destructive before the crash and burn is done'.
