[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9276933, member: 7808"] NuTSR has formally released Those Pesky Orcz. It's for sale on Amazon, but I won't post a link because I don't want to fuel any traffic or algorithms. [ATTACH type="full" width="499px" alt="71hj0me15OL._SL1293_.jpg"]348610[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="498px" alt="61J87i0er2L.jpg"]348611[/ATTACH] Things I noticed: [LIST] [*]They're still using the "Ernie Gygax Approved" logo. [*]The same artist, Qwerty, did some art for Those Pesky Goblinz. [*]Justin Lanasa is taking full credit. [*]It has no logos relating it to "TSR" or to Lansa's new "OSR Games". [*]The game is only for sale on Amazon right now. It's not available on the DHSM website. [*]Adamantite Games appears to be brand new. Their FB page only dates back to January 18th of this year. They have no website, and I don't find them listed as an LLC under OpenCorporates. There is evidence of an older startup video game company using that name, but I think that is likely an unrelated entity. [/LIST] Here are the logos for Adamantite Games from their FB page: [ATTACH type="full" width="449px" alt="419664676_122106727250182906_1501133063140069962_n.jpg"]348614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="635px" alt="420131192_122106734420182906_3836757988996276898_n.jpg"]348615[/ATTACH] I am reasonably certain the castle image above is taken from William McAusland. I suppose there is an infinitesimal chance they paid for it, or a slightly larger chance that it was released for free, but I'm going to assume it's stolen until someone finds evidence otherwise. The main logo looks a cut-and-paste from different sources. The helmet, hands, and text are all clearly from different sources. I wouldn't rule out the use of AI. [/QUOTE]
