It’s about time, although some of it seems unsubstantiated, someone needs to put a stop to what they’ve been doing.
Watch out for the social media campaign begging for money.
How EGG Jr. can condone such a stain on his family’s reputation is telling of his moral compass and the values he was raised with, which is a real shame, but one does not get to choose what ones children do with their legacy.
It seems EGG Jr. values what his father did much differently to the rest of us.
Is this LaNasa EGG partnering a narcissistic meeting of minds and values?
Sorry, Sir Justin LaNasa. My bad.

I think the woke insertions are just padding and fluff. Buzz words of the day as it were, and what the Twiteratti have elected to highlight. It helps to ensure that WotC's brand talked about, and that they are looked upon favourable by the kids of the day, to whom perception is more important that fact. It's free publicity and all that if they can get their products talked and written about.

However, as I read it (and this has been going on for quite a while now) WotC are right.
They own the trademarks, copyrights and imagery of TSR's product line, in their entirity, whether they choose to use them or not.
Their argument is that it is their product line, their IP, and their trademarks that LaNasa is trying to use.
And in that respect they are right.
The virtue signalling is an attempt to demonstrate urgency on the part of their litigation, and forewarn of the harm they perceive if LaNasa continues down theis road, and the resulting damages they will be pursuing.

All they are doing is playing Sir Justlin LaNasa's game. They will spend far more than they will ever be able to recover from him if they win, and that's a win for LaNasa. He has years to ensure his assets are in other people's names. Even if they win a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Sir Justin and his company, they are unlikely to ever recover it.

I don't believe for a minute that the D&D brand will be damaged by republishing Start Frontiers without a transgender character class, but I do believe (as with my position on all the PoD issues) that whether we like it or not, WotC own the IP and have the right to do with it as they please. I may not agree with the valitdity of the woke agenda, but to my mind that is trumped by the rights of ownership which WotC claim to have.

As I understand it, a number of luminaries (Darleve comes to mind) have come out and voiced their opposition to LaNasa's rewriting of TSR history and copyright over the years. As the creator of one of the TSR logos I understand she was approached by LaNasa/EGG Jr, asked to remember her employment contract with TSR differently, to which she adamantly and vociferously told them no, and to fuck off.

You just saved me an equal amount of time.

This thread gets beyond the legal documents, showing why Hasbro is so eager to squash it:

Negros are limited to +9 Intelligence? That's not unintentional anti-wokeness, it's someone trying to pick a fight on purpose. Maybe they are trying to manipulate Hasbro into giving them a payout to go away.

Sir Kill Alot wrote in WotC suing NuTSR:What publisher would take a chance producing this?

Oh I don’t know. A narcissist and a spoilt kid who hated his father for not giving him the riches he believed he was entitled to? There’s something very Harry & Meghan going on in a marriage of souls like this. The divorce when it comes will be very mouthy, bitter and full of the most amazing petulance.

So, in LaNasa World, if I buy a used pen on eBay, I get to lay some sort of claim to anything I may think someone wrote with it?

I’m more embarrassed for EGG Jr.

Badmike wrote in WotC suing NuTSR:They've never really created or produced anything yet, the entire operation is a scam.

The entire operation is run by a politician for his own personal gain.
Why would it be anything else?

And if anyone here or elsewhere was doubting or attempting to obfuscate that LaNasa is a blatant racist and bigot, here you go:

Get this trash out of our game.

Skullhammer wrote in WotC suing NuTSR:Are we certain that Morgoth is LaNasa

Maybe it's a plot twist, & LaNasa will turn out to actually be Sauron all along.

p.s. I'll end up being revealed as Gandalf, here to guide all the little Acaeum hobbits to glory.
