[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 9833960, member: 42040"] You know, it's not even so much the City State of the Invincible Overlord project that got me. Goodman was honest about his intent behind it - using profits to pay for refunds, etc. I can recognize that the product isn't for me and even consider it "yucky" that Goodman would willingly partner with such a character. But I can understand and even forgive all that. But what crosses my line is that Goodman has been paying Bledsaw for years and has been deceitful about it. That he's been paid his share for things still on sale on the Goodman website, going back to the 3.5 era. He's gotten pay for Kickstarters that Goodman said he wouldn't - such as the JG coffee table books, Dark Tower, Caverns of Thracia. Bledsaw has come out and bragged about getting this money, and Goodman hasn't denied it. I'm assuming that it must be true if Goodman hasn't taken up for his honor since these statements. Essentially, Goodman has been giving royalties to Bledsaw for most of the entire history of Goodman Games. A one-off project? That's not bad enough for me to boycott the entire brand. But when it's an ongoing lie to your customers and fans - that's too much for me. I make certain to tell all my friends and every gamer I see about Goodman's shady business associates. I put a curse on their booths at every convention I attend. [/QUOTE]
