Battle Dice

A company called Illektron—which made a collectible card game called Battlez—has filed suit against Playmates Toys over the trademark for Battle Dice. I’m still poring through the PDFs of the court documents to see exactly what this is all about. (You can get these and the original press release about the lawsuit by clicking on the “News Wire” running scroll in the lower left corner of the Battlez site.)

No comment until then. As I might be called as a witness by either side, I’ll probably have little comment either way.

I just wanted to let you know that I do know about the situation. Also, since it seems to be over the trademarks for the games, it shouldn’t affect me directly. (Let’s hope!)

According to a press release posted on GamingReport.com, WizKids has “reorganized.” This means some good people have lost their jobs.

Without being on the inside, it’s impossible to know what the reasons for this are: poor sales, meddling by a corporate parent, or something else entirely. The management team at WizKids is filled with good people, and I know this can’t have been an easy decision for them to make.

Here’s best wishes to all those who were laid off—and all those left behind.
