[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1316226, member: 13654"] Continued to play and discuss pointless details about the game online. Most of my comments of the time were on TSR's boards on AOL. Unfortunately, as far as I know there's no archive of those boards so I can't refresh my memory about what I said or was doing in particular. I do remember that I was quite confident that the game would not "die" because either SOMEBODY would buy the rights (probably the only thing of value TSR had left aside from personnel) or if it went without a publisher it would effectively (although not legally) become public domain. There'd be nobody to prevent other publishers from simply picking up where TSR had left off. It wasn't as if there wasn't money to be made, just that TSR had been mismanaged into oblivion and the game was therefore in limbo for a time. The hiatus itself didn't much affect me anyway because I was between games for about a year at around that time and a lot of my time went to computer games since I had no D&D campaign to run or play in.
