Who would you rather have making D&D?

Chock up another vote for Atlas Games. It'll never happen, but its fun to think about.
Atlas Games constantly raises the bar for engaging ideas and creative visions. As it turns out, they have a great grasp of game rules as well. By far the best combination in D20 companies right now.
And i am a picky #@$^$#@, you can believe it!

I'll take anyone who has realistic expectations of what the profit margins are in the hobby game industry.

Howdy!

I would like Gary Gygax return to the helm of D&D.

Hostess. The Fruit Pie division.

Ugh, I hate those things, could we go with the Twinkie division instead?

Sorry. Too much fluff. Not enough crunch.

Well then, I will just have to let you know that I could not support a Hostess buy out of D&D.

Good day to you, sir.

Avalanche, who would then rebrand D&D as T&A.

I would like to see Peter Adkison take the helm. In fact, I think he just might do that at some point.

But whomever it is that eventually takes this bull by the horns, I hope they make PRIORITY 1 the finalization of the SRD -- and then immediately publish it as the d20 System Reference Document, Volume I: Fantasy Roleplaying Edition. Once completed, and the d20 Modern Rules are published, I would then like to see the publication of the d20 System Reference Document, Volume II: Modern Roleplaying Edition. Both books should be hard-cover books, with plain white covers and plain black letters in the title. No artwork. Both should include the Licenses and the various FAQs for the licenses for the use of the material contained within. Both should also be sold with a CDROM edition in HTML, RTF, or TXT format so that the material can be cut-and-pasted into new documents.


Joking Response
I want to see Bill Gates puchase it. If anyone can figure out how to turn a profit on this thing, it would be him. Of course, the newest edition of the d20 STL and the OGL will read slightly differently...

Kenzer & Co. would be my dream choice for taking over D&D. Then it would become HackMaster 5th edition!
