well I'll be, you're right !

Disney bought out the company that lucas arts was dealing with to produce the toys way back when.  Thanks for the link

Well then I suppose that answers my question, it would be like buying park place in monopoly to combo with the other one.  Logical acquisition.




Unfortunately, WotC no longer owns the RPG rights to Star Wars. Disney could have scooped up all of it with one purchase.

That's what this entire thread has been about...

It is just rumor right now.

Erm you do realise 4th ed and D&DN are still d20 derivitives right? I just use d20 as its easier than typing 3.0/3.5/4th/PF/D&DN which all use the basic d20 mechanic.



That's...rather inaccurate.

"d20" is a specific term, the name of third-party content based on 3e published under the OGL.

Not everything that involves rolling an actual 20-sided die is "d20" given this context.


It actually isn't all that clear-cut.



I'm more referring to the various books, magazines, etc. that have the big

logo stamped on them.


I should point out that the d20 system license was not the same as the OGL.

Lol, I read the thread, it just seemed like everyone was treating Disney's potential for buying Hasbro like some remote possibility. I'm more of the opinion that it's only a matter of time.
