These have become so predictable they are painfull.
Though the fact that this is the second round, and mongoose mats recent anouncements, would seem to imply that while
4E is going
well, it could be doing
better.
Randy Buehler was, with 20/20 hindsight, clearly the wrong man in the wrong job. I very much hope he can find a position which better uses his talents.
Jonathan Tweet, largely the father of "d20" and hence the biggest force in RPGs for almost 10 years, may have been hurt by the demise of Dreamblade. Still his long association with Wizards makes this almost shocking. (except for my first point). It also removes the last person at
WotC who had a significant role in creating
3E.
And there is David Noonan. Practically the face of D&D R&D, who did some very good
3E work, and was heavily involved in developing
4E (though his credit for it seemed limited). What can you say?
I do hope things work out for them. The timing is terrible. But things usually do.
And yet another word from our sponsors
