 Posted: 04/13/05 - 12:51 Post subject: Why Wizards bought TSR
|
|
|
In fact, the founder and president of Wizards of the Coast, the publishers of Magic: the Gathering, was such a fan of D&D that he bought the company. Through corporate mismanagement, TSR had fallen on hard times, and by the end of 1996 had ceased publishing new products. In 1997, Wizards of the Coast acquired TSR and gained ownership of Dungeons & Dragons. Most of the creative and professional staff of TSR relocated from Wisconsin to the Renton, Washington area, and Wizards re-hired many game designers who had been laid off during the troubled last years of TSR. D&D products continued to carry the TSR logo until 2000, after Hasbro's acquisition of the company.
I never knew that

I apologize! I'll be sure to make it something important when I post next time.
( ie. teenagers terrorizing me, falling out of my chair and crying, getting into a fist fight with my relative over a video game, etc.)

I wouldn't breach the EULA simply because that would ruin the surprise!
Also - I plan to get banned!
PLAN to be banned or be banned for planning! That's what I always says! Ayup!

I think D&D 3rd ed was our first books without the TSR logo?
I left shortly after 3rd Ed was released. The new president of the company was not a gamer, and wanted the retail stores to become a toy store. Once all open gaming and tournaments were cancelled, I decided that was it =|

So.. don't buy their books, download them. Play at home with friends, and don't buy stuff at the shop that sells the books

I have more free WOTC stuff than Ill ever need, I earned TONS of product points when I was working there. I actually enjoyed working there a lot and still buy most of thier DnD related things, Im just glad I left when Hasbro destroyed WOTC's retail division.

We have a local place, the co owners are 50% of the staff. the WotC shop at the mall around here went out of busness ;p The other place I goto is still going strong.

Then you just might end up with my stiff c**k in your ass, and then we would have an orgy.
