D&D 3.x [Let's Read] The Frank & K Tomes

[Cergorach]

Not to be a "well, ackshually" guy, but I'd argue that Loren Coleman was the creator of such drama. If he didn't embezzle company funds and paid freelancers the work they were owed, none of the ensuing fallout would've happened.

That was never proven or admitted, they mixed company and private funds, something that happens often with small companies. And don't get me wrong, CGL has had 'issues' paying their freelancers since that drama as well. CGL isn't a good company to work for imho. But so are so many other small RPG companies and those had never the amount of drama that Trollman created. I'm not saying that there was no fire, but we have a saying: "Making from a mouse and elephant..." This drama primarily happened on the Shadowrun side of the business and the Battletech side was largely unaffected by the drama, even though they were also employing a ton of freelancers...
