Reports are coming in of a swathe of layoffs at Wizards of the Coast, constituting 90% of the team of the new Project Sigil virtual tabletop platform. In all, over 30 people have been laid off, leaving a team of around 3 people.

Sigil is still in beta, only recently made public three weeks ago. Recent reports indicated that the scope of the project was seemingly being cut back.

WotC’s Andy Collins—who has worked on multiple editions of D&D and other WotC TTRPGs going back to 1996—reported via LinkedIn that he was one of those laid off. He indicated that the small team left behind would continue to work on the project.

More news as it comes in.

Ok. What if the situation about which one is expecting positive or negative outcomes is completely outside one's control, like the success or failure of a corporate technological initiative? Does that also have a direct effect on one's health?

You’d need to commission a study. Through do you feel that your pessimism is only directed towards single things or does it spill over into other elements of your outlook? My statements were very much in relation to general outlook.

On April 1, 1996, my career in the game industry began with a call from Wizards of the Coast.

Twenty-eight years later, history repeats itself.

In three weeks, I will return to Wizards of the Coast as a Senior Game Rules Specialist to help guide the new D&D virtual tabletop to reality.

I'm excited for the opportunity to contribute once again to the greatest game ever created, and I look forward to collaborating with...

I you spend enough of your time brooding over that which you cannot control, yes, you'll see a negative impact.
