I suspect asking them on one of the more public facing arenas such as twitter or facebook could reach more people on the question than asking on these forums... ...
TLDR; Calling them out on this website, whether or not they have an account or not, seems more like a PR stunt to appease a local (in this case, the members of the forums) audience rather than a sincere attempt to actually contact them. If serious, why not contact them via one of the means they appear to have listed instead and post the results?
I bought a copy and it is amazing; unfortunately I can't share any details because the sheer awesomeness paralyzes my fingers and I can't type about it.Hey @TSR-Hobbies, I just wanted to reach out again to ask a few more questions. I saw that "Star Frontiers: New Genesis" went on sale and immediately sold out. Can you tell us where we might find some reviews or photos of the book? Was it sold online or in-store only? How many copies were in the first run? Also, can you give us some more information about the book, like who the authors/artists are, or how long it is? Page count would be great, Table of Contents would be even better. Really any information would be appreciated, as I'm having trouble finding information online.
Not sure if intentional, but that’s excellent wordplay.…nuTSR…
I'd consider that a glowing endorsement. Definitely quote him on that.I was hoping for something more exciting. But he does call EN World a “very big company”, which is funny. I might put that quote in the site header.
“A very big company” - Justin LaNasa, TSR 9.651(c)
They've literally got an account here which they say is for the purposes of answering questions here on EN World, and have posted several times in the last couple of weeks. They've seen it.No offense intended...and probably an unpopular opinion...
I am not pro (Nu-TSR or whatever they are called...TSR Hobbies?)
BUT...
It seems more self-flagellation to congratulate one's own ingenuity by calling someone out on one's own forum (Whether they have an account or not) rather than go directly to their own contact information to get ahold of them.
Now, you may have done this at the same time you made posts on this thread, I don't know, you haven't mentioned it. Whether one likes someone or not, it doesn't strike me quite as apt in a way to try to contact them unless it's more to appease oneself rather than actually contact them.
I looked them up (actually, first time doing it) and found that they apparently have a website and contact information with the contact being
Contact@TSR-Hobbies.com
They also post several pages they have...

Wouldn't it make more sense to contact directly via one of these methods and post the results than trying to call them out on this site which it APPEARS (didn't watch the video, when one mentions something more than 15 minutes long it tells me it's something I don't really want to spend time watching, or in this particular case, didn't really want to waste time watching as I had no interest in it) they are unhappy with (if the comments on the video are anything to understand from)?
Adding: also, even though you are a "[“A very big company” - Justin LaNasa, TSR 9.651(c)]," I suspect asking them on one of the more public facing arenas such as twitter or facebook could reach more people on the question than asking on these forums...but I could also be very mistaken on that as I don't really use any of the social media platforms they list all that much.
Just, as I said, probably an unpopular opinion on the matter.

That wouldn't be TSR, that would be Wonderfiled. Two different companies (now). Yeah, it's kinda confusing who's in which. IIRC --I went to the TSR website to see what products they have and the only thing in their store was a limited edition Giantlands boxed set for $129.99
That's a lot of money for what looks like a classic Gamma World clone. And that's their only product.
Finally! I was worried I'd somehow been subtle.Not sure if intentional, but that’s excellent wordplay.
This feels like being at a party and being introduced to a 'cousin' of a friend who comes from a family with lots of divorces and remarriages, and then they try to explain how they are actually related. By about explanation paragraph #3 I'm just looking around for butcher paper and a pencil and asking them to draw it out...That wouldn't be TSR, that would be Wonderfiled. Two different companies (now). Yeah, it's kinda confusing who's in which. IIRC --
TSR 3.5 = Ernie Gygax, Justin La Nasa, Michael Hovermale
Wonderfiled = Stephen Dinehart, Jim Ward
(and other people, of course)
To add confusion, Wonderfiled still has control of the TSR.games domain, which points to their site, whereas tsrgames.com points to TSR2, which I thought had changed to Solarian (sp) Games, but still has TSR branding on it.
