However--the novels seem to be a pretty big deal, as they were part of Slaviscek's title.Does anyone know whether Mearls is in charge of the novel lines? Any records of him making promises about what will happen in the future of these products?Stan!'s story coincides perfectly with my own institutional HR experiences. One of the reasons there is a VP of HR is to ensure that someone within HR has the stature to push policy level questions up to the CEO. And, now that the policy has been established, the CEO will not need to deal with questions of that particular nature again, because the VP of HR also has sufficient stature to enforce the policy.The VP of Counsel would have similar authority to push important policy questions up to the CEO. However, Mearls would still have stakeholder-level input into these decisions and all other legal matters pertaining to D&D.  For example, consider the way that the DDN playtest agreement changed to allow online play: this was a significant revision to the agreement and Mearls was able to secure this within a matter of days.</blockquote>
