The fact that Adamantite Games is just another version of NuTSR/OSR Games, and may be a part of bankruptcy fraud.  And the fact that Those Pesky Orcz is, objectively, a terribly written mess.This is not the first time NuTSR has done this, and it won't be the last.  When they made posts about their re-bound D&D books, it was the same thing; a fake controversy designed to take attention away from real controversy.  And I'm sure if anyone posts bad reviews about this book on their social media pages, any real debate about proud white supremacist Dave Johnson, the flagrant mysogyny, or the bankruptcy will be deleted.  But argument about the Piss Prophet will stay up.  Because that's how it works when you control the narrative.In other news, [USER=7036217]@Jedion357[/USER] has a new video up calling out the fact that his name was used without permission in Those Pesky Orcz:[SPOILER="Hiding in-line video, some NSFW language"][MEDIA=youtube]85juN69-2Ik[/MEDIA][/SPOILER]</blockquote>
