* Lorraine went on to sue Gygax and publishers who tried to print Gygax's new role-playing stuff, making sure that Gary's career would be stopped at every turn.
* She removed any references to "Christian-hostile" ideas in sourcebooks (renaming devils to [[Baatezu]] among other things).
* D&D, the flagship product, had to be remade, thus was born [[AD%26D#AD.26D_2nd_Edition|2nd Edition]] ... the most forgettable version of Dungeons & Dragons that could still be called D&D.
* She forbade TSR employees from playing games on company time.  What the fucking fuck.
* She railroaded Buck Rogers stuff through TSR because her fortune was based on inheriting the license from her grandpaw.
* She saw the money that Wizard's was making for [[Magic: The Gathering]] and said TSR had to get a piece of that pie, so she pushed out a forgettable collectible card game and the [[Dragon Dice]] products... and made far more than the distributors could sell, causing millions of dollars in returns from distributors.
* Under her watch, TSR increased their novel publishing tenfold... which also undersold in record numbers and cost money to be sent back.
* In 1996, eleven years after she took over, she sold TSR to Wizards of the Coast.
