General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
I just wanted to let everyone know that after 9 1/2 years, today is my last day at Wizards of the Coast. As I leave Wizards, I am left with nothing but respect and admiration for the people and products that have made it such a great company to work for. I will be staying in the Seattle area to pursue new opportunities in the gaming industry.
Working on Dungeons & Dragons has been the height of my career and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this community. Through these forums I have formed many friendships and look forward to continuing to particpate as a fan of D&D. Plus, thanks to ENworld I have a permanent nickname in "The Rouse". I will continue to be an active member although my post count and frequency is going to slow down in the short term (at least until I start up a new D&D game group ).
If you want to connect with me outside of this community here is my LinkedIn profile.
I'm sorry to hear that. Unless this is something you wanted then... yippee!
I think the community has benefited from your input, so I hope you aren't a stranger.
Thaumaturge.

Best of luck in the job search. Its kind of tough finding any job these days and a game related job is the proverbial needle in the haystack. Stay in touch.
Good luck, Scott. I wish you tons of luck in your new endeavors!
__________________ It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules, which is important. NEVER hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule book upon you, IF it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters give in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Volumes, YOU are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a WHOLE first, your CAMPAIGN next, and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do.

Cheers,
What? Why? When? How?
I hope this is not an early "Christmas Present" (the kind of present WotC/Hasbro seems to like at the end of the year) and your own decision, and I hope you have found or will find a new kick-ass job.

While I've never been a fan of 4e, and WotC's decisions over the past several years haven't flown well with me, you've been a class act. You've been approachable, and I've never doubted your sincerity towards the fanbase and the RPG community as a while. Good luck in the future!

Scott, thank you for going to bat for us gamers as often as you did. I wish you nothing but the best for the future, and hope that whoever succeeds you can fill your shoes in terms of keeping open channels with the community. Good luck and Godspeed, don't be a stranger here, etc.

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

Scott, you've been nothing but a pillar of good humour on this board. I wish you well, and you'll be missed as an insider for us D&D nerds.
