After a disastrous overproduction of really, really sub-standard fiction,
resulting in a huge return of stock by such low-visibility companies as B.
Dalton and others, TSR teetered on the brink on non-existence for between 6
and 12 months. Wizards of the Coast, operating with capital gleaned from
Magic: The Cash Cow, purchased the foundering company and began releasing
product again.
Dungeons and Dragons is now in its 3rd edition, but the game itself hasn't
recovered from the new-release-hiatus it suffered a few years back. TSR is
still the producer of AD&D and the like, but it is a subsidiary company of WotC.
