Never? Never heard of Wizards of the Coast?
The most hated games company in the world (apart from GW)?
Ever heard of Talislanta? Primal Order? Ars Magica?
They used to be quite a good RPG company, but then some pillock had a
wonderful idea....
The "idea" was Magic the Gathering, and as a result, just before xmas, they
fired their entire RPG side, dumped all their RPG games and concentrated
soley on MtG.
Recently, T$R was in deep doodoos, and WotC bought them out.
Possibly meaning a return to RPGs.
NOTE: They won't buy out all the games companies.
They couldn't afford to even if they wanted to, and I very much doubt FASAS,
or many of the others would want it either.....
|<sounds of forehead being beaten> Ahhhh WotC= Wizards of the Coast
|You talling me they do more than trading cards? </sounds of forehead
|being beaten>
Ahh, seems a good beating refreshes the memory.
No, they don't do anything other than crappy trading cards.... anymore....
I imagine that's WHY they bought T$R...
So their T$R subsidiary can sell RPGs whilst the main company still sells
Magic the addiction.....
