RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

$5,000 in 1987 is $11,320.77 in 2020 adjusted for inflation.

I doubt there are few here who wouldn't take a check for $11,320.77 for their homebrewed fantasy world right now. Though they might be smart enough to slip into the contract a little 1% royalty from all sales in perpetuity.

Why would he sell his rights?  It's not like TSR would have completely off'd the setting.  It was too big, wasn't it?
