Summary: Hope TSR will some day regret it....

A few rumours I have gathered :

        o       E. Gary Gygax is back at the helm of TSR, his former
                wife and her friends having gotten the boot from the
                capital lenders.

        o       TSR has published more in the last 3 months than in the
                whole last fiscal year. That includes "Unearthed Archana",
                Oriental AD&D, many modules, E.G.G.'s own fantasy novel,
                mass combat, high level setups and many other "wonders".

        o       At the time of sale, SPI had a compleat TYPESET volume
                of new colleges, new monsters, new skills and other
                new and exciting things ready for publication. TSR has
                "fulfilled" its obligations to DQ players by occasionally
                printing a short DQ article in the "Dragon" - whooppy doo!
I think it stinks, tho'. I hope AH does better with RQ ( they are pulling
the old "sell-apart" method of capitalization on an existant fandom).

Anybody wants to run DQ ( on the net or live if you are in Southern Cal)?
