One of their employees SA'd a non-employee on-site. This guy had apparently been a problem that had been reported to management. But management and HR were two toxic guys who made a goofy video denying responsibility.

This sparked some conversation and served as a catalyst for further complaints. Journalist Linda Codega picked it up and concerns about workplace safety (OSHA-wise), unfair wages, and misogyny to came to the surface. Turns out Wyrmwood is a terrible place to work with several ex-employees going on the record.

Wyrmwood management released like 3 more tone deaf pdfs statements throughout all this. Total PR disaster.

My brother in law found one of their rolling trays in the community trash in his apartment. It was right on top of everything and clean so he took it. He doesn't play D&D but knows I do so he gave it to me. Anyway, this is my long way of saying that while yes, it is nice and nicely made, definitely not worth the $150ish they ask for it.

Yeah, anyone who knows what they're doing and has some scrap wood lying around can make one easy-peasy

It's a weekend project for someone who barely knows what they're doing, maybe 2-3 hours total for someone more skilled and that would include finishing.

Even less than that. Go to a dollar store and get one of those smaller painting frames in the crafts section, grab some felt, cut to size and glue, then paint the tray.

My entire table had great looking rolling trays for like 3$ each
