You know, I think Green Ronin's the only company I've actually paid for a new product in the past 3 or 4 years (the True20 rules, when we were working on Fort High). Now I'm kind of glad I did.
Osseum* screwed over a lot of people when they up and disappeared. I know one guy who was owed over $8,000 by them, and that's without counting in all the product he never got back.
*Like Wizard's Attic before them. We managed to get our product back just in time because (1)their warehouse was in Louisville; and (2)a little birdy told us something to the effect of "Go get your shit NOW!"
The fulfillment house crapshoot is one of the many reasons we stopped even trying to deal with distributors--there's one fulfillment guy I trust, and he requires minimum sales and regular products that we just can't promise. On the up side, Hex has made more money and been under a lot less pressure since we gave up on distribution. The Old Farts tell us we're fools, but they also tell us to join GAMA (which has exactly the same effect as setting fire to around $400).
