Wizards of the Coast Completes Acquisition of TSR Inc

In a blast from the past, WotC founder Peter Adkison shared this photo (courtesy Alex Kammer) of a press release from back in 1997, which surfaced while going through some old TSR files.

Definitely a cool thing to see. It’s interesting that in 1997, the sole pop culture mention is that E.T. scene (nevermind that they don’t mention the cartoon). These days, it’d be a heck of a different story.

One thing that’s driving me nuts is the line “Lake Geneva, Wis.-based.” The editor in me just wants them to type out the “consin” to avoid that “.-“

Oh, I thought they were referring to an ability score!

Easy mistake to make... as someone who lived in Wisconsin for many years though, I can tell you you do not want to mistake Wisconsin for Wisdom. The two stats... so far apart.
