True, but I see a little too much overcorrection lately, and I'm more aiming it at folks who just see him now as a public figure rather than an actual former poster here.

Two quick points. The Dragonsfoot argument looks a lot more lukewarm when put in that context, if you judge Gary for that level of conflict, you'd have to put the same judgements on half the posters here. Secondly, I think the context of the insult is not Gary drudging up the memory to be...

I would say while 1 is true, 2 is false, as he showed a lot of kindness in his later years. People don't remember how he was here in the decade he was alive, and I know he showed many people some levels of kindness. That one statement however doesn't really provide all the context. Gary...

Even more messy -- the PDF is available for download: https://ink-bat.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IB_AOTW.pdf But looking on page 200, it says: That's a vague statement. Is this covered under license or not?

One of the problems however, I feel should be clarified, is that while the Estate apparently has nabbed rights to the trademark, they do not have any rights to the Blackmoor setting, anymore than the Gygax Estate has rights to the Greyhawk settings or D&D. The Estate has nabbed the trademark...

Happy Gary Gygax day...and bumping the thread that I always love to think of on this day.

That's not what I see going on in this thread. I don't think people are disputing the actual items Gary said, I see people disagreeing over how impactful this is on Gary's legacy and whether or not his attitudes are part of the past culture or not. Some people feel it's a huge deal, and some...

Today it looks like both sides negotiated some terms, so this court case should be wrapping up.

It was never filed in probate so the estate was never executed. The only reason it came to light was the will was included in a collection of digital files Tom Desanto was given when she was making a deal with him. Tom was obligated legally to disclose it to Luke, and Luke officially filed the...

To be fair, the court reporters have a lot of restrictions on their time, and they were very apologetic to me for not getting them to me -- I ordered these back in October or November. They have to prioritize other cases based on urgency, have a queue, and they have to type these by hand from...

Just thoughts on the testimony in general. Gail is deposed first. Most of this gets into the Will and it has to touch on a few areas, Trigee, a prior pre-nup, the other wills, etc. The one area I feel was legal wrangling was about when Trigee was disbanded -- Luke's side was trying to go by...

That might not be the case, as I separately ordered the transcripts myself, and I received the first one a few months back. I ordered from the court reporters and received them -- the dates listed of the transcripts seem to be the same as when they emailed me. I received them Mar 11-15. The...

A few updates today. There was a hearing. Not too much was mentioned that we can understand without context For some reason, there is an order on record about the transcripts from Luke's attorney. There's some discussion about a trial (either new or a continuation of the process), but...

Yeah, it's got to be something like that. It's not related to D&D as the other forums I've noticed are not as traffic-sensitive to the state of D&D that as ENWorld would be.

No problem. I just remember posting that three months ago, and not seeing any reactions or replies to that post, considering it was an important thing people wanted to know. So when you said "where's the will" I got kind of irritated. (I've noticed most RPG message boards lately have less...

(I swear, if people are putting me on ignore I won't post the future docs I'm ordering, as I'm even considering ordering the transcripts).

It's in a prior post I posted, look for Oct 31st, 2023.

[Realize I posted this back in the original post...my mistake]

True, I'm just wondering if RK will try to make a seperate case against the estate outside of probate.

If you read the case log which you can do online, he did file. The publication date was delayed because the Will was only put into probate this year, so he did follow the procedural rules for the claims and filed it -- that's assuming he counts as a creditor. I suspect the issue goes back to...
