TSR NuTSR Declares Bankruptcy

NuTSR, owned by Justin LaNasa, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which will liquidate the company's assets.

NuTSR's gross revenue so far for 2023 is $621.93 according to the documents filed in North Carolina. This is balanced against total liabilities of just over $384,000.

The company made the news over the last couple of years, emerging in 2020 when then-owners Justin LaNasa and Stephen Dinehart registered the defunct TSR trademarks and launched the new venture with the involvement of Ernie Gygax, one of D&D co-creator Gary Gygax's sons. Over the following months, NuTSR generated controversy after controversy, attempted to sue D&D publishers Wizards of the Coast via a crowdfunding effort, and in March 2022 eventually found itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit from them.

Because the Saga of TSR3 has been ongoing for a while, with many landmarks, I thought I'd do a quick timeline for those who haven't had the time (or, frankly, inclination) to keep up with the whole palaver. As multiple entities refer to themselves as TSR, I will use the nomenclature (1), (2)...

​

As a consequence of the bankruptcy petition the current lawsuit between WotC and NuTSR is on hold, postponed until March 2024. NuTSR's website is still active.

Well.... So much for that 100 million dollar out of court settlement he was convinced he was going to get....View attachment 287629

If he's thinks like chess, he's never won a game except maybe against a toddler, and even that is debatable.

He only claimed to think LIKE chess, not a chess master. Those little wooden pieces don't strike me as all that bright.

His head is harder than my marble pieces though.

The best for that feeling of schadenfreude is or , though I like this one that someone created.

So bad at grifting!

Pretty much the order of the day. Recent grifters have no self-control and don't know when to cut and run with the bag. They just hand on forever until everything explodes around them.

Man, I feel bad for people who paid for Dungeon Crawl. First, they weren't getting what they paid for when promised. Then, to add insult to injury, they had to see people buying them at cons and still weren't getting theirs shipped. Now, to make it even worse, the company filed BK so they will never get them.

I mean, that is what you deserve giving money to shady businesses/persons before you get your products.

I don't feel particularily sad for them.

What this dude has said. That, and I can't help but feel bad for Ernie Gygax. Talk about listening to the wrong people...

This isn't the first time that Ernie has tied his cart to a far-right loudmouth waging war against the "woke".

The first time I kind of felt sorry for him.

This time he proved that this is who he prefers to work with.

Caveat emptor, baby.

IIRC, back when this first started, Rob Kuntz was on these threads and commented on this specific topic. While he didn't go into depth, he did remark that he reached out to Ernie in the belief that Ernie was simply being misled. After making contact, he was of the opinion that Ernie was making a choice, and that was that.

I have to agree with what you have said.
