TSR NuTSR Declares Bankruptcy

NuTSR, owned by Justin LaNasa, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which will liquidate the company's assets.

NuTSR's gross revenue so far for 2023 is $621.93 according to the documents filed in North Carolina. This is balanced against total liabilities of just over $384,000.

The company made the news over the last couple of years, emerging in 2020 when then-owners Justin LaNasa and Stephen Dinehart registered the defunct TSR trademarks and launched the new venture with the involvement of Ernie Gygax, one of D&D co-creator Gary Gygax's sons. Over the following months, NuTSR generated controversy after controversy, attempted to sue D&D publishers Wizards of the Coast via a crowdfunding effort, and in March 2022 eventually found itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit from them.

TSR - The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

Because the Saga of TSR3 has been ongoing for a while, with many landmarks, I thought I'd do a quick timeline for those who haven't had the time (or, frankly, inclination) to keep up with the whole palaver. As multiple entities refer to themselves as TSR, I will use the nomenclature (1), (2)...

​

As a consequence of the bankruptcy petition the current lawsuit between WotC and NuTSR is on hold, postponed until March 2024. NuTSR's website is still active.

“OK, roll call. NuTSR? NuTSR? Where’s NuTSR?”

”It‘s OSR games, now, sir.”

So….one could say they transitioned and changed their pronoun?

"The document also states the gross revenue for TSR LLC so far for the year 2023 was $621.93."
This made me laugh out loud this morning...for a long time

So this is what an "unaligned" person looks like in real life...

He's suggested multiple times that all he cares about is his ability to game. If he can spend his life DMing any time with any one, nothing else matters to him.

Nope, not in the slightest.

Sounds either CN to me. "I don't care who gets hurt by the people with me, as long as I get to have fun." Maybe even NE if he agrees with it, just isn't willing to say so out loud.

Once again reminding people that he DID say these things out loud, in an interview, well before Lanasa and Dinehart were fouling up Twitter. Him saying things out loud was the inciting incident for all of this.

Setting aside the fact(and it is a fact) that if you're comfortable at a table where everyone else is bigots then it means everyone at that table is a bigot; Ernie Gygax was very open with his bigotry from the word go.

Can we please all stop collectively forgetting this about him?

Yeah, I don’t get why so many people, even in this thread, seem to have this perception that Ernie has somehow been “innocently” caught up in this, rather than being one of the key players in it.

I keep forgetting who said what, exactly, and when, since this has been going on for a very long time. Plus recently, Ernie's been mostly sidestepping the issues, like he finally realized he could (or should) leave the out-loud nastiness to LaNasa. But I'm well aware that Ernie has chosen the side of the "it's better to be a nazi lover than a trans lover" rather than the side of literally anyone else.
