Gen Con Files For Chapter 11

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the missed-their-saving-throw dept.

Heartless Gamer writes to tell us that Gen Con LLC announced late last week that they have filed for Chapter 11. This move will not affect the still profitable Gen Con Indy event which will still happen August 14-17, 2008. "This action became necessary as a result of significant unforeseen expenses associated with attempts to expand its core business to encompass externally licensed events. [...] The protections afforded by Chapter 11 will allow Gen Con to further its efforts to address its liquidity needs, preserve value for its creditors and explore strategic alternatives for the business." Evan writes to add that this is the result of LucasFilm suing GenCon.

      Sucked in you mother fucking, cock smoking, gun humping, tobacco chewing, christian, imbred, redneck little bitches

      When the KH-55/555 stealth cruise missiles levels the large cities
      and you show up in the country with that attitude.

      The people you consider an insult will be the only thing
      between you and your role as worm food.

      Part of me hopes you get a new attitude, the other half hopes
      you turn into a roentgen receptor.

      When the neo cons use the nuke bunker busters on Iran
      here in a few weeks, the only place you will have to go is the
      rural areas when the Russian bear bombers release
      6 radar invisible missiles per plane.

      See you in hell...

    Flop could be an understatement. Nobody I know is interested in 4th Edition despite all the Gleemax and related hype. The canceling of Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazines to pursue this online bastard child of Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft has left a fair number of people with a bad taste in their mouths.
