Further reinforcing that to them it's a feature, not a bug.I think it's possible he is being insincere. I think it's possible he fears being caught up in either the litigation or the general dumpster fire of Not-TSR. I also think he could mean the disavowal, too (though that flies in the face of his partner in GP Adventures being a direct associate of LaNasa). But considering that Poire and Gygax misrepresented the amount of work that was complete on the Marmoreal Tomb when they launched that Kickstarter, Poire has publicly repeated falsehoods (not related to RPGs), and that Poire seemed fine with all the other stuff that came before, I do not think the suspicion of dishonesty is unwarranted. I'll also grant that it's not confirmed, either.Yeah, Poire's involvement in the Marmoreal Tomb is way beyond just doing the maps. But I don't think anywhere near as many people would've backed "Benoist Poire's Marmoreal Tomb" instead of "Ernie Gygax Jr.'s Marmoreal Tomb" at the time.That is just ghastly. It's like someone sat down and said "how can we make the AD&D-style racial ability score max/min rules more racist?"</blockquote>
