The whole idea of "no prep" or "zero prep" seems a lot less interesting to me than "low cognitive load". I tried to run a game with friends not too long ago and just being so tired at the end of the week kept me from feeling good about my GMing and wanting to continue GMing. I had some prep and...

This is unnecessary semantic pedantry. Just because it's not a legally enforceable debt doesn't mean it's not still a debt of some kind.

They is JG. Meaning JG may not benefit greatly from having Goodman cover their ass, but they do net some benefit, even if it's just slightly reduced negativity over the experience of being shafted by them for a few years before Goodman bailed them out.

JG made a deal with Goodman that resulted in old debt being squared. That's probably not why JG made the deal, but it's an outcome all the same, and it's an outcome tied to JG. They certainly don't NOT benefit from it.

It is a very small number of people seriously implying deviousness or complex motives. Most of us have simply come to the conclusion that this so-called preservation effort isn't worth dealing with Judges Guild and Bob Bledsaw II for. Given just how rancid his views and words are, the offer to...

And if there's any money left after refunding backers of JG's older crowdfunding campaign, because people don't file for a refund or because documentation is squirrely, JG gets that overage. This is also a kind of "crowdwashing" which bails out JG and assumes their obligation to refund backers...

This is such a dismissive take on valid concerns that I cannot attribute any good faith to your comment.

So back when Goodman Games told us they weren't going to do business with Judges Guild any more after the Jennell Jaquays products, were they deliberately lying or just not particularly committed to keeping their word? And they dropped the donations silently without notice. The Bledsaw take...

When you contort yourself that much to try and make it OK to work with Nazis, that should be your clue that you shouldn't be working with Nazis.

No, no apocalypse at all. Just a company willing to compromise their ethical standards and play fast and loose with their own words to try to play the nice guy but not have to sacrifice some of the things you have to give up when you commit to standing on principles. There is a reason so many...

Regardless of Goodman limited physical and PDF sales, the amount of money going to JG depends on how many of the original Kickstarter backers file for reimbursement. There's a lot of IFs and hand-waving. It's hard to foresee a situation in with JG doesn't get SOME money out of this, and the...

We still haven't seen anything on Rascal, so it seems like the whole "Just wait for my side of the story!" may have been a bit of bluster.

Outright incorrect/improper legal threats, to boot.

A better lawyer would have recognized the idea of threatening a takedown as the clear folly it is.

Did you advise Dave Scott he should probably find a new lawyer who lawyers better? Because that's really what he needs.
