E633 - Official Statements re: Judges Guild from Bat in the Attic and Frog God Games 12.02.2020 12:38

Racist, bigoted and anti-Semitic Facebook postings by Bob Bledsoe Junior have come to light. As a result, Bat in the Attic Games and Frog God Games have severed ties with Judges Guild. As a side note, the City-State of the Invincible Overlord Kickstarter is effectively dead, and backers will never be made whole.
