[QUOTE="Zulkir, post: 385494, member: 1943"] Folks, I have more than a few sources in a variety of high and low places. I have not heard anything about GW buying either novels or RPGs. Its not impossible (in the world of business nothing is impossible) but it is very unlikely and here is why.... 1) Right now the two most profitable portions of WotC's business is Magic and Publishing (made up mostly by D&D and novels). In many senses we are the other 'leg" of the business. 2) The next thing most of you are thinking is "well then Magic moves to Rhode Island and D&D gets sold. Problem with that - moving people is very very expensive. I don't think Hasbro would want to take that hit right now. 3) WotC is making its monthly numbers. In an economy like this, with the all important 4th quarter coming, you don't mess with a portion of the company that is making its monthly revenues. AV [/QUOTE]
