TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

In the story that will never end, after having this week turned itself into Wonderfilled, Inc, and deleted its Twitter account, TSR is BACK AGAIN! Like again, again, again, again. Complete with old-school logo! And Michael appears to actually exist! Michael K.

In the story that will never end, after having this week turned itself into Wonderfilled, Inc, and deleted its Twitter account, TSR is BACK AGAIN! Like again, again, again, again. Complete with old-school logo! And Michael appears to actually exist!

Michael K. Hovermale says in a press release that an unnamed individual (I’m guessing Stephen Dinehart) apparently ran all the social media accounts for TSR, Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum, Ernie Gygax, Justin LaNasa, and Giantlands. He goes on to say that this person has been replaced, and that all posts on those social media accounts are "invalid". There's no mention of Stephen Dinehart's social media accounts though.

Dinehart has left TSR3, taking Giantlands with him. Given that Star Frontiers mentions have been quietly removed a week or so ago, that would leave TSR3.5 without any roleplaying game products, as far as I can tell.

The existing (TSR3} website still says it's WONDERFILED (sic), Inc. However there’s now a NEW one at TSR Hobbies. We’ll call that TSR3.5 for now. I’m struggling to distinguish TSRs from tribbles at this point. They just keep on coming!


I don't really know what to say anymore, but my job is to report the news. So here's the news.

Wandering. Not lost. (He/they)

The video in question in case anyone wants to take a look.

He is very much missing the point here. This didn’t happen “because Giantlands is bad”. This happened, because Ernie made a transphobic comment, and it spiraled out of control from there.

Now, Giantlands might also be bad, but it’s a shame that Jim still doesn’t understand the situation.

Thaumaturge.

Is he really that clueless to the situation here, is he burying his head in the sand to ignore it, is he playing up to their whatever base they are trying to court with "oh look how the conventions and all are unfairly dogpiling on us!"?
Head in the sand most likely. I feel people like this are so used to living in their privilege that they’ve never learned to self-reflect, just project.

After being told Mr Ward was pretty much a good egg, I'm very disappointed in his comments here... :(
I thought the same, but looking through his history on social media seems to show otherwise.

“A group of four or possibly more men approaches. They are following the road to oblivion. They are making good time; neither considering nor thinking. Their faces are gormless. One is dressed as a Gygax of some sort, and another is dressed as a travelling Michael. The others could be scammers or game designers, travelling from one place to another for the convention season. Each carries some sort of discriminatory attitude. It is plain they are not reliable by their haphazard way of running a business. They do not seem to be decent or considerate as they advance.”

With profound apologies to the Forest Oracle.....and neither are they acrobats btw.
@GuyBoy for the win. This is really good!
 




I'm not telling anyone not to discuss this anymore, but... Didn't this horse die, like... years ago? I just feel like we got most of the points out of the way, and it's just kinda like dumping the horse in a blender now...

That's not to say we shouldn't warn off the innocent from this utter crapshow, but everyone here knows EXACTLY what kind of ugly this is.

If the smell deceased horse offends thy nose, walk on by. Those that are staying are invested in the continued grotesqeury that keeps adding new horseflesh to the show.

And no, a vast swath of the gaming comunity has no clue this even happening.
