One correction: Interplay is not making ALL of the TSR products. TSR
broke the AD&D license into 5 licenses, of which we bought two,
Forgotten Realms and Planescape. Other companies are producing the
other 3 licenses.

Interplay has also purchased the license to GURPS, which I'm working
on.  And after playing the Stonekeep demo last night (it's being shown
at CES as I write this), all I can say is that Interplay is going to
be releasing a LOT of very fine CRPG's in the near future, in my
not-so-unbiased opinion. :)
