This year, I agonizingly extracted myself from several tumultuous TTRPG business partnerships.
In this goliath blog post, I'm sharing everything I learned from those trials: evaluating contracts, spotting red flags, and what to do when things go south.

Incredible and desperately needed journalism in a scene/industry vulnerable to this sort of thing.

Update: World of Game Design (WOGD) is now refusing to pay me for the books they sold.
Of the $3,158 in books they failed to return to me, they've only paid $637 — and they're refusing to pay the rest unless I first pay an outrageous and arbitrary $1,250 "close out" fee.

PSA: World of Game Design (WOGD) is unlawfully selling my books, please do not buy my stuff from them.
They currently owe me an estimated thousands of dollars in unpaid consignment sales and have failed to return my full inventory after I gave them notice over 3 months ago.

WOGD refuses to provide receipts, sales data, documentation of returned books, or any other evidence to substantiate their unlawful claims and charges.
I've lost nearly as much money in damaged books (due to WOGD's negligence in packaging) as they've paid me to date.

WOGD is abusing the fact that the money they owe is enough to hurt me, but not enough to cover legal fees to sue them.
WOGD owes me $3663.29 between unpaid physical books, unlicensed PDF sales, and negligently damaged product.
My experience with WOGD has been nightmarish.

Ridiculously cool prop for Breach of Contract made by a dope warden (JackSavant on Discord):
An embossed notary stamp for the Universal Commercial Adjudication Division — the book's interstellar legal association.
This is the kind of thing that makes game design so rewarding.

Hull Breach Vol. 1 just got an absolutely incredible and in-depth review from YouTube TTRPG luminary Dave Thaumavore.
I particularly appreciate Dave's love for the Executive Suite accessory pack, we poured our souls into every little bonus item.

After contracting with World of Game Design last year, they've delivered nothing but incomplete and late payments, false sales data, and empty promises of improvement.
Our contract has now terminated, but they're still selling my books on their website and holding my stock.
