D&D General Adam Bradford, Lauren Urban, Todd Kenrick Leave D&D Beyond

They join lead writer James Haeck, who left a couple of weeks ago. Adam Bradford is the D&D Beyond co-founder, and VP of Tabletop Gaming at its owner, Fandom. Lauren Urban is DDB's Community Manager. Todd Kenrick is the company's Creative Manager.

D&D Beyond, launched in 2017, is currently owned by Fandom (previously known as Wikia), after it acquired the company in 2018 from previous owner Curse, a Twitch subsidiary.

According to Cam Banks, creator of DDB owner Fandom's Cortex, all three received offers elsewhere which they could not turn down.

How would any of those have anything to do with this?

1. I'm pretty sure D&D Beyond just distributes the books/official resources, not design the books. (No, I'm sure they don't do that.)

2. Or D&D Beyond is failing because of the pandemic. Or, D&D Beyond has a behind-doors issue that people aren't talking about (for a variety of reasons).

3. It does matter. D&D is more popular than ever.

4. Has nothing to do with this.

5. Has absolutely no connection to this.

6. Absolutely no connection to anything.

Pssst. It's a joke.

Pssst. It's a joke.

I know. I just think it's a dumb and misleading joke. (No offense to @Zardnaar, though.)

How does calling sombody dumb and misleading not constitute offense?

That and while I would not be at all surprised if they were all hired by the same company, coincidences do happen.

I'm in a different industry than you, but when we have multiple people leaving it once, it's usually a reflection of healthy and growing market conditions leading to lots of new openings. The economy is opening back up, and I know my industry is having a lot of new openings right now. (I've applied to three openings in 2021 alone.)

Calling a joke dumb and a person dumb are two different things. I've made dumb jokes before, but that doesn't make me dumb. Same applies to everyone else. Don't put words in my mouth, please.
