benjoshua wrote in Gail Gygax Interview:The bottom line is I don't think any of us know all that this entails, but the line about Gary's, "physical literary estate properties" and the implication that Kuntz is wanting some stuff back communicates to me that we're talking about literary items from Gary Gygax's and Robert Kuntz's past. I'm not sure how I feel about not having to worry about receiving such an offer.
