Goodman does not get the IP for free, either they are licensing it and JG gets a percentage or Goidman bought the rights outright in which case JG still got something for it. I don’t see a scenario in which JG got nothing

If it was all donated to a decent charity I’d be ok with it.

Aaron Bledsaw is saying on Facebook that Goodman did not buy CSIO and that this is being done under license/contract.

I’d rather trust Goodman Games. I want to hear from them.

This is true, but - at least for me - it would be different if there was a permanent separation of the IP going forward or if instead it is a license and the IP stays in its current Nazi home. I understand that this distinction might be irrelevant to others.

Another bazillion dollars down the drain for me...

I would assume (and hope) that they bought the IP. The owner is radioactive, to say the least.

So radioactive that, despite my nostalgia for the original, I want nothing to do with this unless there are zero financial ties remaining. And even then…I dunno.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how conflicted do you think the Bledsaws are about Kanye right now?

Once again, I must have missed something that happened to tarnish JG in the last decade or so that I was away from regular gaming news and discussion.

D&D General Thread 'Companies Cut Ties With Judges Guild After Owner's Racist Posts'

Feb 11, 2020

Several game publishers, including Bat in the Attic, have said that they will no longer do business with Judges Guild after its owner posted a number of racist and anti-semitic statements. They don't need to be repeated here; but there are several examples.

Judges Guild has been around since 1976, producing products compatible with Dungeons & Dragons; the current owner, Bob Bledsaw II, is the son of its co-founder, Bob Bledsaw, and has run the company since 2008. The company is well known for 1976's City State of the Invincible Overlord...

Know that that thread has comments turned off for a reason. I don’t want this thread to continue it.

Thanks. It was enlightening. I read the last couple of pages to see why the thread was closed as I could not see why anyone would be defending junior and…..wow.
