My vote would be Joe Manganiello.
He probably wouldn't want it. Did he not originally leave because he no longer had the control to which he was accustomed previous to the Hasbro buyout? WotC - Peter Adkison: A Letter on Leaving WotCPeter Adkison
Things are quite different now. WotC runs Hasbro, for example.He probably wouldn't want it. Did he not originally leave because he no longer had the control to which he was accustomed previous to the Hasbro buyout? WotC - Peter Adkison: A Letter on Leaving WotC
It was a reference to an apocryphal (but very likely*) letter he allegedly sent to a publication (usually claimed as The Times) when they asked for various luminaries to send in a few hundred words on the question, "What's wrong with the world today?"I don’t know. G.K. was a grognard before it was cool, so I’m not sure he’s the best choice to run WotC.
Same vice versa.The best days of D&D are definitely, DEFINITELY, behind us.
The idea that new things are always better than old things is a cognitive bias.
I had a similar thought about Loren Greenwood being qualified, but equally unlikely to want the position. Twenty years ago is a long time and people move on from old jobs. Similar for Chuck Huebner, although I know less about his track record at WotC.He probably wouldn't want it.

It’s worth pointing out that while the response post:Same vice versa.
is fallacious: “the best days of D&D are behind us, so let’s not try something new”.The best days of D&D are definitely, DEFINITELY, behind us.
The idea that new things are always better than old things is a cognitive bias.
was not.Whoever they get to fill the position, I hope it's someone who wants to take the hobby forward. A lot of folks are talking like the best days of D&D are behind us, and that's the wrong attitude for a company's leader.
Upvoted for the interesting lore. That being said, I’m not a big fan of Chesterton, as his article on Chesterton’s fence reads to much to me as a defense of the status quo for its own sake.It was a reference to an apocryphal (but very likely*) letter he allegedly sent to a publication (usually claimed as The Times) when they asked for various luminaries to send in a few hundred words on the question, "What's wrong with the world today?"
Allegedly, his reply was, in its entirety,
Dear sirs,
I am.
Yours sincerely,
G.K. Chesterton
