Title says it. Roll for combat/battlezoo's distributor 'Diamond' has filed for bankruptcy and is keeping their (and other company's) stock to sell in a liquidation sale to keep the proceeds and pay off their debt.

Mentioned in the video, diamond is a distributor for other TTRPG companies as well, such as paizo, goodman games, and others.

I don't think they're the sole distributor for all of them, so i think the amount of damage it's doing is highly specific to each company, but it's still pretty shitty for companies in this industry in particular because of how hard it is to turn profits already in a niche industry.

Daimond is a fucking monopoly that held stranglehold on everything it coudl get its hands on, I hope the company closes and also hope someone manages to salvage all distributors affected, as Roll for Combat has some really good 5e and PF2 content.
