Charity Bundles and Sales

If you haven’t heard the news yet about the Diamond Distribution bankruptcy, the distributor has filed a request in court to keep all of the consignment inventory it has – inventory technically owned by the publishers – and sell it off without paying money to those publishers to pay off their creditors. Green Ronin, the TTRPG publisher behind The Expanse, Mutants & Masterminds, AGE System, and more is one of the companies affected by this attempt to lay claim to hundreds of thousands worth of their products. The company has launched a GoFundMe to pay for legal defense to retain ownership of their own books. At the time of writing, they have raised over $31,000 against a $50,000 goal from over 200 donations.

  • All proceeds to Green Ronin’s legal defense fund
