Lorraine Williams vs. Scott Rouse (aka Shooting the Messenger)

Who do you dislike the most right now?

senodam · Apr 19, 2007

I don't dislike either of them to be honest. I've never met either of them, and despite their parts in the history, however recent, of gaming I don't see much point in feeling animosity to someone who is to all intents and purposes, the visible part of a faceless company.

Who and Who?

I game to game, I don't game to give two tugs about the pseudo-celebrity of who works for what company when something happens.

Since the Lady of Pain was modelled after Lorraine Williams, I'd say she is more than a little known and visible in the gaming circles - at least of those who used Sigil in their games...

If Lorraine Williams hadn't run the company into the ground in the first place, we'd be in a completely different situation. Just sayin'.

okay, i've read a tad on other sites and now know who *he* is.

eh, they both suck.

getting rid of the mags is a mistake. i'd much rather read paper than stare at a screen.

But I thought the Lady of Pain was supposed to be, y'know, enigmatic and COOL and stuff.

The WotC spokesman who cheerfully explained killing one of the most valuable brands in RPGs by saying:

“Today the internet is where people go to get this kind of information,” said Scott Rouse, Senior Brand Manager of Dungeons & Dragons®, Wizards of the Coast. “By moving to an online model we are using a delivery system that broadens our reach to fans around the world.
