Is Scott Rouse a REAL Person???

Is he?

1. I never really heard from him until shortly before the announcement of 4e (aside from saying a few things concerning 4e...)

2. In a Design and Development article they list the Brand Managers... Mr Rouse was not one of them...

3. The Defenition of Rouse is:
  • to stir or incite to strong indignation or anger.
  • to come out of a state of sleep, unconsciousness, inactivity, apathy, depression, etc.
  • to start up from a covert or lair, as game.

4e has incited a lot... Some anger...

D&D supposedly was in a "decline..." so the announcement of 4e seems to have brought it out of sleep...

The announcement was kept in a "covert lair..." for quite a while...

I think Scott Rouse is just a pseudonym for perhaps several WOTC members wishing to post in somewhat anonymity!

(yes I am joking...)

Scott Rouse is a pseudonym for Bill Gates (long time Enworlders will know what I'm talking about).

Is that why the DI is so Mac Unfriendly?

The greatest trick that Scott Rouse ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!

I have met Scott Rouse. I was at Gencon. He is a real person. He is not a creation of Gleemax.

Who are you again?
Do you exist?

Do I? (Technically, I might just be an English-German-English translation error gone awry...)

I want to believe you, but your text is not red. Are you real? Please don't ban me.

I've seen Scott Rouse, at the ENnies, accepting an award, and mentioning "crap bombs". QED, he must be real.

Conspiracy!

So far only we only have Gencon sightings...

Easily fabricated by WotC I say to take the heat and quietly vanish.

Yeah...that's the ticket.

Scott Rouse is the Alan Smithee of the RPG world. Clearly, Monte Cook was originally one of the major designers of 4e, but he hated what Wizards was doing with it so much that he asked his name to be taken off it, and "Scott Rouse" was born.

No. You saw a man called Scott for the duration of the event which is not the same things as proof positive Scott Rouse is real. Frankly, it could simply have been an actor playing a roll or cosplay that got out of hand.

Scott Rouse is seven feet tall! Kills men by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the EnWorld with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
It's a new feat in 4E

Scott Rouse is an anagram of "Ruse to cost!" and "Cost to user!".

Coincidence? You decide!
