Now that Gygax Games has withdrawn all the licenses, is there any chance of Paizo getting a license for the Gord books?

I already have all the books, but most of them are in a poor shape. Also, they would be a natural fit for the series...

At the moment I think we'd prefer to focus on other authors. We have four Gygax books on the market and I'd like for those to find a larger audience before seriously considering a much longer series.

Please keep them in mind, I'd love to see them re-released, with better cover art on the last few.

Understandable. The Gord books probably have a somewhat wider appeal than the "Mythus" series, but back then the license was with TLG.

Indeed. I would have preferred to begin with the Gord stuff, but in a way I'm glad we went the route we did, since I think the Aerth books are less well known and it's nice to offer them to a new audience.

I also don't trust that Wizards of the Coast would be happy with us publishing Greyhawk books, regardless of the handshake deal between Gary and Peter Adkison regarding Gary's control of the books.

I have danced the dance with that partner before, and it didn't go so much the way I'd planned.

So what is that, go not to Wizards for a deal, because they will say both no and yes?
