Anakin killing the helpless Count Dooku was a big step towards the dark side. Jedi don’t kill helpless foes.

Pretty much all of the “Gygax is a xxx” fodder comes from forums posts he made.

Taxes are kind of high, there is unfortunate language politics in one province and most places are pretty damned cold. Much more opportunity in the USA, but a good place to be be from.

I have not worked at a place for a decade (or more) that did not have strict rules about posting about work. Most even have warnings that you can be terminated for being a chump in public. I long ago purged my job from anything but LinkedIn. And this is from a person that is actually a company...

I posted the Kickstarter update where the claim was made that writers have been paid. I cannot check the exact details or the contract but if I take that at face value, the deadline for the writing was last October and the contract said that pay was supposably on acceptance. Plus, some writers...

It does not matter if there is due process. “Jack Sparrow” had a jury trial (with a judge) in the USA and someone in this thread is dismissing it as him appealing to the court of public opinion. I have read some various reactions to Satine’s live stream from the people that had made complaints...

https://www.enworld.org/threads/want-a-job-as-wotcs-community-manager.666218/ Was a one year contract. Started in 2018 and the company was commonly using 1 year term contracts then. Contract term ended. I do not see anything other than the contract ending in the timing of when she left...

Kickstarter update from today: “ We have received many questions about what will happen with this project in light of recent changes at Apotheosis Studios. It is currently our intent to finish the book and fulfill the pledges that we received. We will be working over the next few weeks to...

I doubt it had anything to do with that. Probably hit the contract end. D&D was not proven then, and had been on tiny staff life support for a while. You need to terminate contract positions before a certain time lapse otherwise they are deemed to be employees. Just about everyone WoTC hires are...

And one allegation that a complaint was not looked into (who was being complained about not specified so no way to know if any relation to Satine) turns into a torrent of assumptions about why and who knew and that M person is not fired yet? And the person complaining kind of takes over the...

Satine was a contractor years ago. WoTC almost always ran contracts for one year. She was not an employee and other than some allegations from one side, there is no proof that anyone at WoTC did anything. Everyone is assuming that she had some real power, who knows and what the actual situation...

Even with mod text earlier warning people to stay on the subject of the two people in the OP, WoTC employees are still being named and speculated about in very negative ways. I try and be silent if I cannot be kind and not speculate in very negative ways. Also, if there is a real black list and...

What is he supposed to say? I have not seen any bad behavior to have been alleged to have happened at GaryCon. If they are not guests at next year’s GaryCon, that about sums it up.

So you do think that walking by the wedding party taints me. And, I must admit, Thursday was my AL day so I was walking to a 5e D&D game. One that Mearls worked on, Satine was the community manager for in 2016 (that is a guess from memory) and that two other evil OSR personalities consulted on...

if you know nothing, maybe not slurring someone is the decent thing to do?

Mike Mearls, who attended Gary Con like he had plenty of times before, stopped by a former co-workers wedding which was the feature event Thursday night and which took over the bar which is the main social space in the hotel. Or, you can read it like this was intended and he flew to the site...

She did not say she would immediately contact everyone that wrote a specific post, she said she would get to them.

Most such businesses are actually individuals. Now RPG work generally pays poorly and maybe this experience has a social good by chasing people away from the space into more productive endeavors. I actually (tongue in cheek) scolded a friend who bends over backwards to make sure his freelancers...

I agree that I see no evidence in this thread of sexism or racism (and the mods here don’t let that stand if it is happening). However, it is in the thread. The insinuation that she is getting attention because of her gender and an insinuation that it is racism as well. Couple that with the...

Wonder why people get away with bad behavior for quite a while? This thread has a good clue. One person says anything and they are just sex shaming, sexist racist people. That is why many people, especially ones new to the scene or feeling unsure are scared to come forward.
