The best thing for the D&D RPG would almost certainly for it to be in the hands of someone else. But, dealing with things as they are, that ain't going to happen - Hasbro, as a rule, don't sell IP. Though I do wonder what might happen if FFG (say) were to approach them regarding licensing the RPG rights for the next decade.It's valuable enough to spawn a multi-million dollar lawsuit that has the potential to redefine the legal status of sequels (potentially costing everyone involved big). I personally find it hard to believe, but it really does look like someone thinks it could serve as the successor to "Lord of the Rings".To leverage it the same way Bioware did: you use the name recognition to drive sales of your game, you make sure that game is a good one, and thus build your own name recognition. Then you sell your next game as being "from the people who brought you...", and then you can let the license lapse.    That is, it's probably most useful as a ladder to help your company rise, rather than being the be-all in itself.</blockquote>
