WotC President Greg Leeds' Interview

As most of us are by now aware, the people over at ICv2 have posted a two-part interview with Greg Leeds, the CEO of Wizards of the Coast, that they had with him back on September 19th.

Part One of the interview can be found here: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/21062.html and Part Two can be found here: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/21063.html

The Greyhawk Gorgnard blog site called my attention to this interview. I'm not trying to rehash any old news with this post. No, I'm posting this strictly for those among us, at Canonfire!, that might not have read the interview for ourselves.

What struck me as the real significance of this interview for Canonfire! fans is the fact that Mr. Leeds spoke very little about plans for D&D in general and made no mention at all about any plans for the Greyhawk setting. All in all, the interview was little more than a hype for Magic the Gathering. But I'll leave it for you, the readers to decide.

Basically, this interview means that the immediate future of the Greyhawk setting is left in the care of its fans, just as it was in '94 and '95. But, given the amount of creativity and effort that fans have shown, throughout Canonfire's history, we can get the setting revived once again.
