ok in the late 80s to the mid 90s tsr gave the rights to ssi to make ad&d games which they did from 85 til about 98 *by my estimate now ..stormfront developed the games for ssi (or about 90 percent anyways)

but tsr is owned by wizards of the coasts ssi was bought by ubi soft and stormfront went out of business

so say i did a kickstarter to get the rights of said games sos i can have gog make them useable on modren pcs for all to enjoy (or make modren graphics for em )whod i have to negioate with ubisoft or wizards ?
