Sounds like an interesting story.Only from the outside.I wrote it as an RPGA tourney.TSR didn't want to publish it.NIPI asked them if they minded us publishing it.TSR (the PoG) said no, go ahead.We published it.They sued us, ran it out long enough that we ran out of money.I still think we'd've won if we could have lasted long enough.But lawsuits like this aren't about being Right.Bottom line, TSR and NIPI spent about a million (mostly on their end) to resolve this matter.
