My guess is they will extend their lawsuit to include David Johnson, Ernie Gygax, and anyone else involved with nuTSR. The only issue I see with trying to sue for damages is that they have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the documents were in fact created by nuTSR. I don't think a private...

That may be my fault, I pointed out that the disguised voice was a little over-dramatic and would make people doubt it's a serious matter. (Which protecting your identity from someone who has already doxxed people and is a known gun enthusiast most certainly is.)

The Marmoreal Tomb Kickstarter was Ernie's chance to show he could produce something. He failed, and others are now working to complete it. Mind you, Gary himself disappointed me with not finishing Castle Zagyg. He had YEARS to get it done and failed. At one point Rob Kuntz even stepped in to...

I'm honestly wondering at this point if LaNasa: Really THOUGHT a product filled with hateful Nazi/Facist rhetoric would be a big seller OR.... Such a politically inflammatory product strategically leaked at the right time would make WotC scramble to cut him a big check to bury it. I'm probably...

If you're worried that their cries of "fake" will be listened to, I wouldn't sweat it. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence here. The PDF should also contain metadata identifying the author. @tenkar could probably provide a snapshot of that, if it had any good information.

I told my brother about this, and he couldn't believe anyone would publish something with such overt racist and fascist material. "Are you SURE it's not a parody or joke?" Sadly, no. Of course, they can deny they wrote it, call it fake, etc. The metadata in the PDF should confirm the...

My brother backed the Marmoreal Tomb Kickstarter. It's good that Troll Lord Games is getting it done for the backers. That said, much like Goodman Games with Judge's Guild stuff, finish it and then never work with or associate with these people again.

Another place to send a copy of the manuscript? The Lake Geneva town hall.

I reported the post to FB, but as they don't have a "Nazi lover" option I suspect they won't ban it. Bah.

I am definitely buying the book, this is interesting stuff! Not being able to sell D&D in big retailers was a huge blow to the industry, but maybe not one that was felt for awhile because it took time for them to realize the TTRPG player market wasn't really growing. (Although, how many stories...

Honestly, I preferred BECMI. Advanced was confusing, over-complicated, and the books smelled funny. (To be fair, I was like 10 when I first encountered one.)

Nicely done! I noticed he also liked his own post. Which is always the sign of the unhinged... my ex-wife did that all the time. Mercifully she blocked me on FB so I can't see her craziness anymore.

And didn't he just dox you publicly as well?

Possibly in his head it's some way to "block" page scanners and prevent his enemies (WotC, Hasbro, people who don't like nazi's, etc.) from gathering evidence on him?

The link you shared says June 21st, not July 21st for publication date?

Yeah, the creator's other works show he'd fit right in with nuTSR.

Also, they didn't even create that, it's on DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/offensivenessmaximus/art/No-woke-sabotage-to-gaming-Pic-1-905384211?fbclid=IwAR1_deQFnnZ34z37ej59WAwJj_vhkvGRjCQLIAll3GqVH3fbjLy-Ncggo84

He wants to feel like a real game designer, hence a beta playtest. I get the feeling LaNasa is just letting him do whatever now and staying out of it, as he can always say "Oh, that was all HIM, I had nothing to do with it."

Apparently Richard Garfield DID patent the tapping mechanic in 1994, but the patent expired in 2014. https://patents.google.com/patent/US5662332 "Tapping" may be a trademark, although the only thing I see they've done there is trademark the "tap" image of a curled arrow.

They didn't patent tapping, they patented Magic: The Gathering, which the description of includes tapping. https://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5,662,332.PN.&OS=PN/5,662,332&RS=PN/5,662,332
