If it's within Rob's abilities at this point to make sure they get shipped, then they will. If not, then who cares about a damned limited edition module when a guy's life is on the line? Good luck, Rob. And thanks for the updates, Allan and Deogolf.

Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2007 9:38 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time to answer a real question! As a matter of fact, Rob Kuntz and I have parted company since he reneged on his agreement to co-develop the Castle Zagyg campaign project material, doing so in a most ungentlemanly manner. I was taken aback at that since he originally approached me to do the work and then agreed to terms set forth in a written agreement, accepted an advance payment. All I can assume is that he is going through some rough personal times. Of course I could convince neither of my two older sons to assist me in the project, but nontheless it is now going forward full bore. Happy New Year, Gary

I hope it all works out — I sincerely hope that Rob's deal turns out to be just severe allergies and that all of his customers get the items they've paid for — but I can't help but wonder what the fallout will be if these orders go unfilled. I suspect it will help put an end to much of the automatic goodwill that industry "names" seem to get from many gamers ... especially if those "names" are holding their hands out for money. A cynical view, I know, but I suspect that such will be the case.

Deogolf wrote:"If"? Hmmm...Rob is definitely ill - deathly, I haven't the foggiest. It's definitely not allergies. I highly doubt its a matter of taking the money and running. It's not like he's making a million bucks on this and heading for Tahiti. I'm sure he has valid reasons for what's going on right now.I know Rob is not the easiest guy to get along with, but, I think he has respect for his fanbase. Even I don't know what is going on. I can only assume that because he's been so quiet, that it can't be a good thing. Just speculation.
