I'm sick of woke witch hunts and cancel culture, so I honestly don't care if any of this is true nor am I inclined to put any effort into researching it.

It's real, but this guy is an irrelevant nobody, just like 99% of the people in the 1% of cases that turn out to be true out of all these rampant accusations of "Nazism". Which is why none of this shit matters.

They're not helping anyone in society, exposing corruption, speaking truth to power or making this world a better place. They're just feeding their neurotic fixation with trying to find racists everywhere so they can engage in moral grandstanding and pretend that they exposed some greater evil by destroying some random nobody so they can feel good about themselves because they're pathetic irrelevant nobodies as well. So they need to invent worthy causes and evil villains in order to cope with their pathetic existence.

Tenkar claims to have a leaked copy of the nu-TSR "Star Frontiers" beta. If this is legit, then these dudes are tripling down.
https://youtu.be/fD9evesvAos

Erik Tenkar recently showed some of nuTSR's text from their unreleased convention pre-beta release Star Frontiers  knock off. Besides being unapologetic racists, both Johnson and Lanasa are illiterate imbeciles.

Looks like ENWorld has unearthed a trove of nazi shit on the Twitter page of Dave Johnson, who is writing the Star Frontiers reboot for nu-TSR. Or, was...
https://www.enworld.org/threads/does-tsr3-have-nazi-connections.688528/

They have my name on one of those images asking nuTSR's social media volunteer Michael Yach—who was the admin of a Facebook Weekend AD&D group that I had been a member of—if that was Jefferson Davis on his Facebook profile. I stated that I had read a book about him, but then I'd also recently read autobiographies/letters of Ulysses Grant, Ernest Hemingway, T.E. Lawrence, Audie Murphy, Robert E. Lee, and George Marshal. I actually got banned from Tom V.'s and Erik Tenkar's Facebook discussion group about the new Star Frontiers knock off after I got into an argument with a trans activist there. Apparently Erik's "neutral ground" policy doesn't apply to conservatives.

It's incredible how badly written it was, yeah.

Aside from that, I'm starting to wonder if Justin Lanasa isn't a Fed. 
Either way, it's obvious nuTSR is total poison at this point. Lanasa is either a racist fuck who knew exactly what Johnson had written in that playtest doc, or he was such a goddamn moron that he had people playtesting a product he was going to publish, full of shitty typos and overt racism, and he'd just never bothered to even look at it because he's the 'business guy'.

DHSM's (iirc it's LaNasa running the account, not Ernie) statement, just for the record. I have no idea what to think about this. Pundit's suggestion that LaNasa is a glowie is sounding pretty good though.

Justin LaNasa is trans.

I don't believe that this leaked is material is sincere for one minute. There are some kind of shenanigans afoot. I don't know what they are, but it's something. Of course, people love to go into histrionics over supposed "racists" so they'll eat it up.

No such thing as Bad Publicity.

*YAWN* At the end of the day, Ernie Gygax, Lanasa, the other guy, and ultimately, anyone else involved with "Nu TSR"--for all of the twitter and social media circlejerking and fuck ups that they have seemingly frequently engaged in--haven't actually created any worthwhile game products, most especially involving D&D. Not a fucking thing.

I've seen more creativity produced in one summer by a college student than all of these people *combined* in what? 20 fucking years? Honestly, they all sound like fucking clowns.

It's rare that I agree with SHARK,  but on this, I agree. All smoke, no fire...hell, there's not even anything to burn.

They are marketing prepackaged nostalgia but don't appear to have the ability to actually produce it.

I knocked out five free 1e AD&D modules in 2002, by myself in the course of a year, that did more to jump-start the old school revival than this basket of idiots.

It's not hard.

Spend a weekend with Microsoft Word.  Put on some Led Zeppelin.  Roll some dice using Dungeon Masters Guide tables when you hit the creative wall.  Type.  Repeat until you hit 3000-6000 words.   In Word, right click, select all.  Go to Fonts.  Set everything to 20th Century Gothic.  Go to format, select two columns.  Adjust the margins so the page has a .5" margin all the way around, the columns are 3.5" wide, and there's a .5" space between them.  Mock up some front and back cover art that looks suitably old-school.  Put "Gygax" on the cover, if you're Ernie.

DONE.

THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.  You're not gonna buy a supercharged McClaren with what it will make for you on Drivethru RPG, but you do that 2-4 times a month, and you'll pay the rent.

Jesus if a dingdong like me can figure that out why can't these people who are more interested in creating drama than product?  It's like announcing you're going to start a dairy that can outdo T.G. Lee in milk production and you buy one cow and spend the days running up and down the highway in front of your pasture holding two handfuls of cow shit, then wondering why nobody believes you.

Why don't you? I mean, first, we already know Johnson is a massive racist with little social self-control.
Second, when has NuTSR ever done ANYTHING in a way that you should feel any confidence whatsoever in them?

Again, if at this point you told me Lanasa was a Fed, or that the whole thing was just a front for a Meth Lab, I'd probably give you the benefit of the doubt.
