Was it this one? https://www.salon.com/2001/03/23/wizards/

The scorpion stung me last time I took him on my back but doesn't he know he can be better and not sting me? Let's trust him one more time. You don't have to place these absurd expectations on a corporation. It is not your friend.

No, I'm not making excuses (I don't care what iota about WoTC beyond occasionally buying its products) merely an exasperated comment on why you be so credulous as to believe a "we're really sorry" message from a company after it attempted to remove the OGL. It's the equivalent of a kid giving...

Those three might feel differently but they don't own WotC. (And if they owned WoTC, maybe their opinion would change too)

LOL. Let's all pretend that was sincere I guess.

Maximising shareholder value is generally what shareholders (the owners of a company) want? I mean, unless D&D fans world-wide all go and buy up 100% of Hasbro's stock - then they can run it how they like.

Except for Adkinson (who sold to Hasbro) the only other CEO/President that had a great deal of concern for D&D the game as opposed to D&D the product was Gary Gygax and he wasn't exactly the greatest custodian of the game either, so well I just think people are putting waay too much faith in...

I feel perfectly comfortable with WoTC flogging off useless gimmicks to whoever wants to buy them because I feel no need to.

I don't think Hasbro ever agreed to that bargain, we just decided they had for some reason.

But that’s the whole reason for it. Otherwise we’d have Gygax handwriting free copies of the rules for his mates. I just don’t get these posts with people conflating what they want as a gamer with what WotC management should be doing.

He was Dungeon editor before WotC bought TSR. I have all the old issues and he was definitely editor before the printing crunch and subsequent rescue.

What do you think the point of a company is?

Unless you are Chris Perkins? (Maybe management forgot he is an actual man, not a piece of the building that's been there since they bought it from TSR?)

I'm just waiting for people to claim Mearls departing is linked to the Zak S thing... EDIT: LOL. But of course.

Yes, all those fantasy stories where the main character has dozens of magic items, where he discards his sword every second chapter because he finds a better one, that's certainly the "genre" alright.

No, it needs to go harder.

I have 30 odd years of notes on my computer for my long-running homebrew, and I also maintain a wiki that players can access.

There was a good article somewhere on the web about how WotC changed from basically a bunch of hobbyists to a professional business and the change in culture than entailed. Death to the Minotaur

Why is the Standing Stone so high?
