Eh? Is this supposed to be a joke? Cause it is the 2nd here already.

It's the 1st for quite a few more hours in America, though.

Still find the joke in poor taste tbh.

No argument here. There's enough acrimony between a small but vocal portion of the two companies' fan bases as it is. Doesn't really need additional stirring up, even as a "joke."

 

[Nymrohd]

Why can't we all just get along

I guess you guys didn't see the Paizo homepage today. Look in the upper left-hand corner for the "d21" logo and read their latest news announcement. This was obviously a team effort. If you're going to hate WotC for this, you're going to have to put Paizo over your knee, as well.

Tell me they have a better joke than that for today . . . Best I've seen till now was the Diablo III one.

 

[RangerWickett]

And now the article is gone from Wizards' site. Apparently they realized they had done something less than optimal.

I don't know. It seems that they caught at least three people with their pants down. Or. . . maybe it wasn't a team effort and Paizo caught a whole lot of people at WotC with their pants down
