      Adam Koebel who became infamous when

      spoiler

      he decided to enact a robot sa scene during a live stream with one of his players as a victim

      . Any new project he works on in the TTRPG sphere ends up quickly canceled so a reprint of Mellified Mage might not be worth the fuss to Free League.

        I wasn’t even aware of that - I doubt that this would be relevant to free league, but I only scratched the surface of the issue. Thank you for enlightening me, though.

          A few years ago some kind of manager or director of tabletop gaming projects at Kickstarter lost his job because he greenlit a project that Koebel was working on, so yeah, anyone trying to print something the guy’s name is on is playing Russian Roulette.

          (that guy losing his job is also what resulted in Zine Quest being canceled the year after btw, because that guy was running it as a pet project)

      They read 1984 one 2 many times?

      Then again it might have been Animal Farm?
