[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5710439, member: 8835"] Thats a very important point. I was there, and sort of a part of the cease and desist letters era. It was at my prompting on rec.games.frp.dnd that Robb Repp went to the lawyers and got the Official statement on TSR's policy*. That policy totally sucked and shifted but was at the center of what drove the C&D actions. *Robb had shown up, and wasn't clearly answering policy questions, so I wrote him personally and asked him to get us a formal policy that I would then repost. he did. And I did. And hell followed with. Those were crappy days to have a D&D website. When Peter Adkison bought TSR, I could tell from his writing that he cared about the game. So yeah, he saved it. As for any other company being able to save it, name one. Very few had the financial clout to be able to afford to buy another game company, let alone one with the debts TSR had. [/QUOTE]
