Eh, I just did a google search for Lurkinglidda for old time's sake and saw this thread come up. I did not envision opening up a new discussion about WotC selling D&D though. Heh

Both of my offspring, in fact, do have less than three heads. The second child was born with a birthmark that reads 667 - neighbor of the devil.

lurking: I lurk more than I post on the message boards lidda: I posed as Lidda on the cover of Book of Challenges. And then there's that I'm a halfling rogue. My previous boss went by the screen name of Scott_Rouse...not sure where he came up with that one.

Thanks, all! Applewood. Of course.

Hello darlings! Where would one go to find a database of all the clear D&D Minis? Would we have to search through all the set lists and images to find them, or is there a comprehensive list somewhere? As the former DDM brand mgr I really ought to know this, but I've, erhm, been out of the game...

Most employees are "at will." Perhaps 10% are on contract.

Case in point. I now market seafood. These people wouldn't know an orc if it hit them. *gasp* I just saw Jesse's name on the list. That makes me a very sad panda. :-(

You rely on each other for support. We formed bonds as we went through the traumatic times together. We became family and support systems for each other. And when we lost someone it hurt. Even if you yourself have already been let go it still hurts. There's a grieving period. You deal with...

Indeed. WotC generally has a re-org most Decembers, but is not adverse to a mid-year round every now and then. I believe I made it though a dozen lay-offs before my number was called.

I'm bummed :-(

I've known Scott since our days at university. He's always been a stand-up guy, full of passion and devotion. I couldn't begin to count how many nights he took work home with him, how many hours he spent in meetings (often double or triple booked!) to make D&D the best brand possible, or the...

Aww, I'm getting all goose-bumpy!

Depends. Job Search = less than fair. There are few jobs available and thousands of folks competing for them. The other day I heard that 1000 people applied for one meter-maid job in Seattle. Could be an urban legend, but it is pretty telling of the current job market. Home Life = way more...

I think I've been away too long: what does the melee icon mean? Am I challenged to a duel? My int score is like 5 today.

Wow. It is six months to the day since my position was eliminated. I thought I'd just check on how things are going, and what do I see? No GSL yet? Perhaps my position shouldn't have been eliminated. Now, I no longer have inside knowledge as to what is going on at WotC, so don't let my post...

I always thought of it as a sort of Easter egg in the license. Looks like you win a prize!

Wow - I'm really feeling the love! It's been amazing to see all the message boards, blogs, and personal emails singing my praises. I had no idea anyone cared so this is awesome. Thanks everyone for all the support. :D

Thanks for the support everyone! :cool: I want to remain in the gaming industry. Perhaps my next job will be with with mice instead of dice. Time will tell. Oh, and I still have every faith in the D&D brand, 4e and Scott. If he says he's going to do something you can believe he will do...

I've been playtesting Storm of Zehir. Looking good!

Me too. And I did chuckle at the gall bladder bon mot.
