And it continues, Wizards kicks another to the curb

Paizo now Kenzer, what's up with Wizards of the Coast?


Wizards of the Coast/Kenzer & Company License Agreements Expiring
It is with regret that we announce that KenzerCo’s license with Wizards of the Coast for the D&D brand and the oD&D/AD&D copyright licenses for use with HackMaster will be expiring soon after GenCon. It was a fun seven year run and we really enjoyed writing official D&D materials and honoring former versions of that illustrious rules-set in our own particular KenzerCo way.
KenzerCo will continue to support the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting with setting and source material but the products will no longer bear the D&D logo. Any product currently bearing the D&D logo will only be offered for a limited time after the expiration of the licenses.
We will continue to support 4th edition HackMaster with adventures and other original materials on a going-forward basis, but will no longer offer "hacked" versions of 1e/2e/oD&D materials. Further, the class books, Hacklopedias, PHB, GMG and any "hacked" adventures will only be offered for a limited time after the expiration of the licenses.
The licenses were both rewarding and lucrative, and we at KenzerCo thank Wizards for the opportunity to play in the TSR/WoTC sandbox for the last several years.
We will be happy to answer any questions on the subject on our discussion boards through the Kenzerco.com site.
