'Everything Is a Story' Inside Wyrmwood Gaming's Narcissistic Funhouse

A culture of unprofessionalism and disrespect at Wyrmwood Gaming goes beyond allegations of sexual assault.

Curiouser and curiouser. We had very minor dealings with this company a few years ago. Tried to buy some gourmet dice from them. They never shipped the dice we bought and after a few emails, stopped replying to us. We took it up with our bank and after a few months, got a refund from the bank, but never heard back from the company.

A friend once told me: How you do anything is how you do everything.

Seems that might be true of Wyrmwood.

The actions and behavior of wyrmwood management is horrific.

Effing yikes!

That’s…just wow.

What a sleezy, deeply unethical company. The executives are sexual harrasers who underpay and exploit their employees, promote based on nepotism and favoritism, and maintain an extremely unsafe working environment on many levels. Will backers care, or is it just about more conspicuous consumption for them?

The Wyrmwood customers who know all this and decide to purchase anyway are not rebels; they are simply rewarding bad behavior. This machine grinds up hardworking, blue-collar workers and spits them out, bloody and traumatized.

I backed one Wyrmwood project before the earlier reports arose; I won’t back them again.

EDIT REGARDING THIS NEW ARTICLE: YEESH.

Yikes. Even beyond the harassment, yikes. Speaking as someone who has worked in manufacturing, the stuff with the dust, spray room, branding machine and fire safety is all terrifyingly unprofessional and reckless.

I've already seen a couple of videos of woodworkers teaching people how to remove the branding stamp from their products. Basically, sand the thing down, and apply a new coat of finish.

Sounds like they could use that collective leverage, so I wish them good luck.

Unfortunately, I fear that won't go easily. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.
