Well, it's clearly an evil campaign.Even if they were it has been hateful and ham fisted.
being parasites on GaryCon is super distasteful.

The term for this I know of is "house con". A friend of mine runs an invite-only house con each year. We take over most of his home for a weekend. He can manage up to 8 games per slot, I think, including a garage and tents in the yard as play spaces.
So, 30 to 50 people, I think. Not what you'd call a major commercial venture.

Perhaps Non-con would be fitting for one run by LaNassaThey should just cut to the chase and call it Con-con
Ah; I think I know him. I believe you're right that it's just an online sales thing. As far as I'm aware there hasn't been a gaming store of that name in NH since the Tower in Nashua closed.Jason Spracklin reopened it in 2016, though it doesn't seem to make much money. Might just be an online retailer type setup where he sells game stuff on EBay for all I know.
Well, maybe they hope if they keep digging, they come out in Australia or soThey’re so convinced they can dig their way out of this hole.

That appeals to me more than a huge commercial con.

Figures we posted for our board game that we were told from Anvl may have been from another site. We are getting with the person who made them, and determining what the heck? Will update in a few on this one.

You know...Yeah. There are reasons I have gone to the house con every year, but have never been to GenCon.
This reminds me of FATAL, which bragged about how difficult it was to play. Like that's a selling point or something.One of their games is Dungeon Crawl. And... I cannot with this tag line.

... yup.
What??? You're just asking for someone to get murdered.You know...
You could probably do a VRBO style House Con in a mansion type environment with private pools and stuff. Do a whole weekend thing, or even a week-long thing. Something like...

How come it's linked/embedded in the website that they linked from their FB page? I didn't get there randomly.That's a separate Canadian company. Different logo, too.

It does actually look awesome!

Thank you for the information - I had missed the Semora bit, and only saw a nameless Don - I was wondering if he was another Michael, but not, it's a real person.No idea, not a lawyer. Maybe they registered it somewhere else, but Wizards Tower Games is not a registered LLC in MI, WI, SC, or NC (the states where they live or lived in).
Don Semora is a real person. An artist (not a bad one either from what I can tell), but it seems like he's letting Justin do all the web design and graphic design work on his games, because the really bad grammar and spelling issues are exactly how Justin writes. That, or part of Justin is rubbing off on him.
Whoever wrote that threatening email (if anyone really did; I'm dubious) is an idiot. Not only for making a dumb threat in the first place, but it's also written in the same bad grammar as Justin, and apparently Don and Justin are "great friends" according to Don, so an email like that would just reinforce the partnership, not split it apart. Also, AFAICT, Wizard Tower Games doesn't have any actual products for sale (imagine the surprise there), so what's to boycott and talk bad about in the first place?
Just look at the flyer they have for TSR CON (still not buying the excuse they gave for moving it to the same date as Garycon). Most of these "sponsors" were registered by Justin. Wizard Tower Games says they aren't affiliated with Justin at all (but also say they are partnered??), but they were created the same time the other two were (June/July) when nuTSR blew up in their faces, by the same circle of people. Funny coincidence, that. Out of all of them is the coffee place the only one with actual products to sell? Besides dollar store dice at 4x the markup?

What? Have a link?Thank you for the information - I had missed the Semora bit, and only saw a nameless Don - I was wondering if he was another Michael, but not, it's a real person.
Anyway, I found another twist!
Apparently smuggler's coffee is not sponsoring them.
Ooh! What an exciting twist on the whole "murder-hobo" thing!What??? You're just asking for someone to get murdered.![]()
Honestly that castle would be amazing for a Murder Mystery Live Action game...Ooh! What an exciting twist on the whole "murder-hobo" thing!
