D&D (2024) OAR 10 City State of the Invincible Overlord

I really want to see something from Goodman. I'm a little shocked they would release any news about this without a thorough explanation. They can't be that oblivious to the optics, can they? And the explanation better be good because "well we thought you'd forget" is not going to do it for me, not only for this product, but anything from Goodman.

That attitude from Joseph Goodman would be very shocking.

But yes, just teasing this and letting the Bledsaws control the narrative isn't wise.

Meh, im just gonna buccaneer it

Generally, I would disapprove, but in this case...

I’m thinking GG wants to make sure they message this carefully. Perhaps they got excited and wanted to get this out at the Con before they had that nailed down. Or perhaps they had a message at the Con and they just haven’t sent that out more broadly yet.

Yeah, I love Goodman's products, but this is a real landmine they are dancing around...

Yes, they would definitely want that. Makes sense. They know the minefield they're crossing. They've done this before with IP from JG. Which completely undermines...

All this. It's only been a few days, and a weekend at that, but given Goodman's prior dealings with JG and their fairly savvy marketing, it's mind-boggling that they wouldn't have released their whole media packet on day one. Give the people at the con the early peak, sure. But we're now after noon on the following Monday and still nothing.

Will certainly watch this thread to know when the KS or Bakerkit for this goes live. On a related note, anyone else having issues with the Goodman Games store not loading?

They’re probably being hit with a lot of views or updating the site with info.

Poking around on discord it sounds like they recently did a refresh of their website, including the store, and it's causing real delays to load times. So be patient with the website. Click through and give it 45-60 seconds to load...each and every single page.

The only info so far is this:

https://goodman-games.com/an-amazing-time-at-dungeon-con/

To save everyone time, the text in full is:

"THANK YOU!

Yesterday, Goodman Games put on our first-ever in-person convention: Dungeon Con. It was…well, it’s hard to describe what it meant to us and how we felt about the way everyone came together to make it a truly amazing event.

Frankly, we’re exhausted. We’ve got a TON of things to talk about and share with you, including tons of photos, videos, and news. Expect to see that soon! For now, here’s a group photo from the con with full crew and guests posing for posterity."

I read somewhere that JG was licencing their products out and would be using the funds they received to put towards finishing off the CSIO Kickstarter.

Thing is it looks like my reference has evaporated so I cannot give a source to this .

That's going to be weird. JG has an long-standing unfulfilled Kickstarter for CSIO and so, to cover the costs of fulfilling that Kickstarter, have licensed out the IP to Goodman who will most likely be doing a Kickstarter for CSIO in the near future. It would be a cosmic irony if they both shipped around the same time.

Wow.
