Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The new TSR name is the hand of Vecna holding one part of the rod of law if it were played right.


Well that's enough weirdly vague hyperbole from me. Thought I might have a point for a moment there but nope.
Nah, I think you were right the first time.

LaNasa sent Evil DM a selfie holding up a book with "Star Frontiers" on the cover, but, um, nope. Not yet.

Until they do they're basically a non-entity. But the question is why are the SJWs so so very freaked out about the existence of a company that's produced nothing?

For the same reason a,lot of original gamers are interested in TSR3. The name itself (regardless of who is at the helm) is the Ghost of Christmas Past. The nostalgic hope it rises from the grave to challenge WotC, the other hates that others have hope.

Are LaNasa and Ernie the power plant to get it done? I don't see evidence yet.

ClownfishTV did a video on the topic. They dug up some interesting things.

For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

1: It is actually a pretty embarrassing a debacle that WotC let the TSR trademarks lapse to the point that someone else could snatch them up. Someone over there really dropped the ball. Yet no one is commenting on this!

Habro Corp just doesn't drop this shit, yet its WotC games division:

Actually Hadborg has a long running track record of letting IP they have acquired slip through their fingers. Combine that with WOTC and thats a fair number of games or titles that have been lost.

As for TSR. They seem to be the current new whipping boy. Till the mob finds something fresh.

Easy.
Because they might produce something and it might attract real gamers and that might detract from their precious WOkeTC bastion.
So it must be pre-emptively destroyed.

Yes, exactly. For relativists, they sure seem to recognize the danger of a symbol.

How anyone can listen to that chick's voice for more than a few seconds is beyond me. The dude is marginally better, and might be tolerable on his own, but her? Nope. Somebody wanna bullet point that shit for me, because holy hell there is no way I am listening to that.

I see it alot over on BGG where you have game designers giving new game designers deliberately bad advice to pre-emptively sabotage competition.
Publishers will scam-buy games with no intention of actually publishing, just to remove competition.
4e creeps tried desperately to sabotage 5e D&D.

And on and on. Some of this is not new at all. Its just exponentially easier to do now thanks to the internet.
