Now for the rumor from Origins. I am advised that WotC was demonstrating but not selling from their booth, that the buzz is that a sale is about to be announced, and that the rumor, I repeat RUMOR, on the floor was that media mogul Ted Turner has bought D&D.
Bryon,
You heard it from Steve who heard it from someone at Origins heard a rumor that all of this was going to occur?
Can anyone who went to Origins confirm that WotC was not selling from their booth? Even if it is true that they weren’t selling, it doesn’t confirm the rumor to be true.
By the way, why would Ted Turner buy D&D?

I was down there a couple of hours ago (figured Id be dumb to live in the same town as one of the bigger game-fests and not go). Wizards had a good sized floor area claimed, maybe 40 by 40. It was covered with gaming tables for them to demo stuff at, a little stage they were running some kind of prize drawings from, and they had a small info booth in one corner. The vast majority of it was the game demo tables. Didnt see
anything for sale there.
