Dear Wizards...

Hmm, so you guys did the obvious and licensed Star Wars from LucasArts... now, I have discovered that Decipher no longer holds a license to produce RPG material for Lord of the Rings (rights held under Tolkien Enterprises, I would guess?).

So, will Wizards do another maneuver to take advantage of a large fan base, the successful movie trilogy (of much more recent memory) and the forthcoming two-movie release of The Hobbit?

It would seem a toss-up from my view, but it could potentially add to the competitive advantage of Wizards, and the timing with 4e would be an issue... but, could it be pulled off and worthwile??

Personally, I don't think WotC should, but some other publisher using the 4e SRD and OGL.
