text-align: left;"> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.7px;">ATLANTA, VANCOUVER, Dec. 9, 2019 -- DriveThruRPG -- Last week, while most of our staff were heading to the PAX show, a customer reported a title on our store, citing inappropriate content. The title was a short RPG wherein players are meant to assume the role of police officers who harass innocent victims such as “person of color” and “queer person.” </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <div class="p2"> <span class="s1"><br /> </span></div> <div class="p1"> <span class="s1">The work in question was arguably satirical, its author perhaps attempting to make a statement against police corruption; however, our initial review determined that the work warranted a more considered review. A game that has players take the role of police oppressing minorities simply warranted more than a quick look. So, as is our policy in such a situation, we suspended the title from public sale until all of our staff could return from PAX and we could then review the work more carefully. In the interim, we notified the publisher that the title was being temporarily suspended for internal review. </span></div> <div class="p2"> <span class="s1"><br /> </span></div> <div class="p1"> <span class="s1">Over the weekend during the PAX show, the publisher then undertook a number of questionable actions, including deactivating their other titles and then using DriveThruRPG tools to email prior customers messages falsely blaming DriveThruRPG for having removed those titles.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div> <div class="p1"> <span class="s1"><br /> </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <style type="text/css"> p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 20.0px; font: 14.7px Arial; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 14.0px; font: 12.0px Times; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} </style> </div> <div class="p1"> <span class="s1">The publisher also made use of a tool that allows publishers to customize the appearance of their storefront page on DriveThruRPG; with this tool, the publisher created a false version of events, making it seem as though DriveThruRPG had banned the publisher, and then posted a screenclip of that falsified message in several places online. The clear intent of the publisher was to create outrage against DriveThruRPG. It is difficult to see this series of actions as anything but slander. </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1gQbc837Cwk/Xe6gJnoF-lI/AAAAAAAACvk/9VNmpJE_zG0fnB7a2LyoSj1OH2W2tFDLwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ELTal29X0AAj9Mx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="1024" height="186" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1gQbc837Cwk/Xe6gJnoF-lI/AAAAAAAACvk/9VNmpJE_zG0fnB7a2LyoSj1OH2W2tFDLwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/ELTal29X0AAj9Mx.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><i>Screenshot of the error message created by the publisher that spread on social media</i></span></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cVr3uOn-aWQ/Xe6gYkxB6AI/AAAAAAAACvo/lfP7d5OcXbEt7vtREmy3YVJ1TvAXAhVFQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-12-08%2Bat%2B6.15.53%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="972" data-original-width="1356" height="285" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cVr3uOn-aWQ/Xe6gYkxB6AI/AAAAAAAACvo/lfP7d5OcXbEt7vtREmy3YVJ1TvAXAhVFQCEwYBhgL/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-12-08%2Bat%2B6.15.53%2BPM.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Screenshot of publisher's category header tool (through Manage Publisher Page) showing the message in an editable text box.</i></td></tr> </tbody></table> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We do not want to work with any creator who uses our platform to falsify reports against others, nor do we want to maintain a relationship with anyone who undermines the integrity of public discussion in the hobby.

I want to pay tribute to him here so that more people might get a glimpse of the man and know his many contributions to our tabletop gaming hobby.<br /> <br /> Perhaps James' most far-reaching contribution to the hobby was his founding of RPGNow, the first webstore to focus on selling roleplaying games in PDF format. James launched RPGNow in 2001, the same year Apple launched iTunes. Well before the iPhone, iPad, or the Kindle, James recognized the opportunity for RPG publishers to reach more fans through digital versions of their titles.<br /> <br /> By 2004, when I and a few others started DriveThruRPG, we were the Johnny-come-lately to the pioneering work James had already done with RPGNow. Nevertheless, it was through the resulting friendly business rivalry between DriveThruRPG and RPGNow that I got to know and soon came to respect James. Our professional acquaintance turned to camaraderie when we decided to merge RPGNow and DriveThruRPG in 2006 to form OneBookShelf. My esteem for him, both as a person and as a professional, only continued to grow during the 13 years we remained business partners.<br /> <br /> What James started in 2001 has grown each year since, so that now roughly a million gamers visit OneBookShelf sites each month to discover games. Some of the webpages James coded in the early days still remain in use on the sites. He designed RPGNow to be open and transparent to game publishers and to entrust and empower those publishers with great freedom to manage and modify the marketplace directly as they saw fit. I think these design decisions were intuitive outgrowths of James' own nature.<br /> <br /> The man's many contributions to gaming hardly stopped with the webstore, though. James never met a business opportunity he wouldn't entertain. He collected gaming-related web domain names like some gamers collect dice, and he would regularly spin up new websites overnight dedicated to some facet of gaming or another.<br /> <br /> He also founded and operated the <i>Game Universe </i>retail stores in Wisconsin, expanding to three stores before later selling the stores so he could focus on his many other business pursuits.<br /> <br /> And as if I haven't used the word "founded" enough yet, James also founded game publisher Minion Games, primarily as an outlet for his own abiding passion for board gaming. He produced hit games like <i>Manhattan Project</i> and, along the way, became one of the early experts on using crowdsourcing to fund game development.<br /> <br /> He then generously turned that expertise into a <a href="http://www.jamesmathe.com/" target="_blank">website </a>devoted to offering free advice to other board game designers and publishers, thus helping many other people who were seeking best practices for creating their own games and funding them via crowdsourcing. James also started several <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/GameDesignersGuild" target="_blank">groups on Facebook</a> that have since grown to be among the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TabletopPublishers/" target="_blank">best places</a> for new publishers and experts to swap game <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TabletopKickstarters/" target="_blank">publishing advice</a>.<br /> <br /> To speak fairly and earnestly, James did not, in person, always convey the kindest first impression. There was a frankness to his manner that, upon first exposure, led some people to not seek out his company a second time. Those people missed out. James had a heart of gold. Whatever roughness might have shown on the surface was just an expression of James' drive to never be satisfied with the status quo and to improve things, not just for himself but for everyone.<br /> <br /> James was a very smart entrepreneur in a hobby business full of smart people. He embodied the best of the US Midwestern virtues of work ethic, honesty, and fairness. He's gone too soon. I am saddened that we will never see what else he might have founded in the years to come.<br /> <br /> Rest in peace, James.<br /> <br /> Forever your friend,<br /> Steve Wieck<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Anonymous</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://oneblogshelf.blogspot.com/2019/06/tribute-to-james-mathe.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://oneblogshelf.blogspot.com/2019/06/tribute-to-james-mathe.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2019-06-12T11:42:00-07:00'>11:42</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://oneblogshelf.blogspot.com/2019/06/tribute-to-james-mathe.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 8 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-948637674'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1713034482559784142&postID=3358555575794541688&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=1713034482559784142&postID=3358555575794541688&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=1713034482559784142&postID=3358555575794541688&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
