Dungeons & Defamation

A new libel complaint in Clark v. Gygax (that would be Gary Gygax's son Luke Gygax), over a failed Kickstarter related to a planned new installment in a "tabletop game," "Castle Wolfmoon":

In the published post, Defendant made numerous knowingly false statements, including claims that Plaintiff was misappropriating Gary Gygax's name, that Plaintiff was lying to the public about the Castle Wolfmoon project's authorship, and that Defendant was not associated with the project.

This is of course just at the Complaint stage, so we know only the allegations. But it naturally piqued my interest (as a D&D player from back in the 1970s), and I thought it might likewise interest some readers.

The post Dungeons & Defamation appeared first on Reason.com.
