Hasbro? What would D&D be like if WotC didn't sell to Hasbro?

Real Life Villains of D&D

Sorry to sound dumb but who exactly are they?


WARNING SPOILER BELOW...........................




Are they authors of the worst Eberron novels I hear there's several does Tim Waggoner count for turning a character into a vampire even though it shouldn't happen that quickly outside of a Quention Tarantino movie?
Yes I know they count him as an inspiration but there are cases where a bit more thought would have helped.

Rose Estes? Villain? Puh-lease! She's just a second-string author who wrote some good stuff, and some not-so-good stuff. I'm assuming you are referring to her Greyhawk books after EGGs? Might as well blame editorial control and different tastes than to slam an author as a "villain" of our hobby. Jeesh. Or did Rose committ villainy I am unaware of?

Now Lorraine and Jack, oh yeah. Although Jack is that cartoonish and completely ineffective kind of villain . . . and Lorraine is the psychotic villain who thinks she's the hero . . .

Hmmm, not sure why your post got me all fired up . . . back to lurk mode . . .

Rose Estes may be a hack, but a villain? No. Heck, I know people who's first exposure to D&D were her choose your path adventure books. The other two... I may need to add a villain named Lorraine Chick to my game.

That's twice now you've listed him. Although, if anyone deserves the title, it surely is he.

Is taking a cheap shot at real people consistent with the spirit of these boards?
