She decided to end that line and start a new sci-fi RPG based on a known intellectual property using the then-current AD&D rules (''Star Frontiers'' had its own incompatible rules set). The fact that [[RoyaltiesHeir she was the heiress of the Dille Familiy Trust]], which owned the ''ComicStrip/BuckRogers'' rights, and that she therefore personally earned a royalty for every use of those rights is [[BlatantLies probably a coincidence]].
