One of the computer gaming magazines had a little blurb a month or two ago
that said that SSI had changed their minds and decided to continue producing
AD&D games.  (Can you say $)  I had thought that they only retained the
license to produce Menzoberanzan games, but I could be mistaken.  I have the
feeling that Dreamforge will be making these.
