Courts have found companies liable for delivery. The problem is that suing to get your money is far more expensive than just eating the $40. But no, you can't just engage in fraud and put up a sign that says "we don't actually guarantee that anything we say is true or you'll get anything" and...
I'm one of the backers. I'd rather have kept Goodman Games as a company I'd be willing to do business with than get my long-lost $40 back.
In some ways it's worse because the Bledshaws arguably engaged in fraud and they're being relieved of that plus got to keep the money. Because that money...
If they're not reprinting the original, then a lot of the "historical preservation" stuff is really out the window. It's kind of the whole point and I think the OAR concept is pretty fantastic in theory. You get the original. There's a lot of essays that give you context about why this was...
This. Also, if this follows the same format and I assume it will, there's a full reprint of the original and a bunch of commentary as well as the adapted updated version. And I would be all over this. Except for the nazi thing. I can't do that.
Didn't the refund thing through Goodman happen after a week of Goodman getting shellacked by criticisms? Before then, it was going to the Bledshaws. And yeah, they said they would use the money for refunds, but they said that before Tegel Manor as well and did not follow through.
The thing is that they supposedly signed this confidential agreement after doing business with the Bledshaws had already gotten them into trouble with their customers (and everyone else decent). Why would they ever agree to sign something that would leave them unable to defend themselves after...
That's the Bledshaws. Concerning Judges Guild look at the Facebook post by Bledshaw. He's some kind of Identity Christian. This is stuff that was out before GG started this project in 2022.
Oh the make money. If you want to make money find another business than TTRPGs.
"Oh yeah after that blowup with 'Eisenhower and Truman being secret Jews, but Jesus was a gentile and the Jews stole the Bible from white people' we thought it would be a great idea to sign contracts with...
Provided this is accurate, it means that when the Caverns of Thracia was being funded, JG was already remitting money to the Bledshaws while those of us who backed it believed that any royalties would be going to charity. Depending on when in 2022 he decided to give the donations, it's possible...
You're going to see a marked decrease in the number of writers publishing if we're not compensated. And what you get isn't going to be very good without editors.
