No tempest. More of an eye roll, but pathetic nonetheless.

Yea, why would anyone have issues with WoTC? cough OGL cough cough Pinkertons cough cough paying for award cough cough Near Xmas layoffs cough*

Yes, that sounds good. But it's easier said than done. What are your ideas?

Lies! ;)

Just because it's nothing personal, or not inherently evil, doesn't make it OK.

Run, don't walk away from WoTC, and support smaller companies. You have to Find the right Path.

Another YouTuber's view: That's true. If he screws up enough he'll leave to spend more time with his family and cry all the way to the bank with his golden parachute.

Regardless of the timing, how the compensation is calculated, or when it's vested, he will likely not be penalized in any material way for his poor decision making...ever. They will just continue the practice of curb stomping the employees.

Tax rates are irrelevant for this discussion. The point is that Executives should take (material) responsibility for their mistakes instead of shifting the consequences off to the workers. But that's not part of the business culture. I once built a staffing analysis for a group using their own...

It was a rhetorical question. I can do the math myself, I just didn't have my calculator handy. :) ;) BTW, I still have my original HP 12C. Do you? :)

Call me crazy, but the buck should always stop with the executives. If the company is in financial trouble, they should be the first to feel the pain. I wonder how many people could receive at least 6 months of severance with CC's $9.4M total comp...

Yea, I agree. There are some classes that are noticeably more powerful than others. Hopefully the new version that's not a new version will fix that.

I liked the focus on magic items in earlier editions. But it makes sense to no longer emphasize it in 5E now that the PCs gain magic-like abilities as they level up. The issue with the old way, imo, is that it was challenging to evenly distribute magic items in a even or fair way.

Cakewalk. Every player has healing

Won't be purchasing regardless of the release date...

Anyone who trusts WoTC is rolling the dice... Who knows what they may try to sneak into a contract with a smaller publisher. Hedging your downside often comes at the expense of limiting your upside.

I agree that streaming services are a big factor in declining movie theatre attendance. But this doesn't fully explain why some movies are successful at the theatre, while others aren't. (I believed the general rule is that a movie is successful if it's revenues exceed twice its production budget)
