[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2859934, member: 14041"] Nightfall, I've got this dead horse if you would be intersted in beating it. Seriously though, and this isn't just aimed at Nightfall, why would or should WotC publish any previously published setting? For the most part it only plays into nostaliga, and while nostalgia can keep a company afloat in this case its not going advance the company. So let me add to the ideas i stated previously (great idea Abe.ebA BTW): - Sell 10 yr licensing contracts for all of the old TSR settings not being published by WotC to 3rd party publishers. RPG rights only, no mercendizing, option to reaquire before the end of the 10 years. While it doesn't make alot of sense for WotC to do it, if a smaller publisher wants to start revamping Planescape or Starjammers or the like I say let them. If it is succesful I buy the property back after they have done the work to build a new fan base. If it flops either I wasn't going to use it anyway or I can come back and say "Setting X, done right" and sell a few books. [/QUOTE]
