Meanwhile, I think that would be equivalent to killing the D&D brand. It would be better, IMO, to have WotC/Hasbro recognize the D&D game as unprofitable, kill all production of it, and not sit on the IP than it would be for it to continue, but only as the tabletop instrument of the Realms brand. If they want to cash in on the Realms and make some money, I'm fine with that. Please just remove the D&D logo and name from the novels, video games, and movies. If they want to keep the D&D logo, that's actually fine, but do it as a subscript-type thing, maybe a secondary fade in the title sequence, etc. The Realms are no more important to what makes D&D D&D than is Birthright, Darksun, or Spelljammer.And I got that, from your post. I was just calling out that I actively wanted less support for the Realms, so even though I agreed with pretty much everything else, WotC is still in kind of a Catch 22.</blockquote>
