Charles Ryan (and others) out at WotC?

[Truth Seeker]

Sean, you weren't supposed to know about that.

And you certainly weren't supposed to mention it on a public messageboard.

You're going to have to be silenced permenently, now, veggie-boy.

Monte's Mafia?

 

[StupidSmurf]

Dropped off, or was snatched off?

:::gives a nice civilized golf clap:::

Oh, well played sir...VERY well played indeed!

 

[Darrin Drader]

Monte's Mafia?

It goes higher than him even. There's a reason they call the illustrious leader 'Our God Gary'.... But like Sean, I'm not supposed to know about that either.

Hexagonal cardgame. Pretty good. Fanatsy/Horror focus. Check out the wizards site

Pentagonal, not hexagonal.

Moderator's Notes

Whisperfoot, we got rid of the rollseyes icon because it contributed to snarkiness in a way that doesn't fit with the board's tone. Please don't do that again.

The board has a tone? :\

The board has a tone? :\

The one I can make out, judging by which comments get moderated out and which ones don't, is that it's ok to say that you hope someone gets sacked, but not ok to roll your eyes at such comments.

Cheers,
Liam

Yeah, that's pretty much what I get out of it too. Chalk another one up for not moderating what is said, but how it is said (and for the record, I stand by the use of that smiley towards what can only be viewed as a completely uninformed, incorrect, and callouse comment).

I never have been really good at getting my name out. I've been one of those writers that people say "OH...YOU'RE the guy who wrote this and that? Wow! Never knew who you were!" It always give me a chuckle! I also get a kick out of overhearing gamers at OGC con describe me as "That old-school gamer guy"

That should be your title. "That old-school gamer guy." Sean's easier to recognize because his name is his screen name... unless, of course, your given name is StupidSmurf too.

You put your name in your sig, like Charles Ryan, though. I like when designers do that, actually.

As a rule, I only give the credits a cursory glance. I'm too excited to see what lies in the actual product!

That's exactly what I do. If I remember to, I try to go back to the product (well after I've bought and used it) and try to remember some of the names on it... those that I read a lot (on a variety of products) stick in my head better.

And I'd stand there smiling and nodding and saying "Why, yes! Yes, I did!" and inside going "I wrote this 8 years ago...What guy??"

I think this happens with everybody. I used to have a lot of people listen to my jokes--years later, they'll say something and I'll think, "Gosh that was weird..." and they'll say, "... You don't remember that? You made the joke back in (year)!"

Nonsense. My pony and I would be the bestest of friends. And we'd go off on all sorts of neat adventures. And those adventures would be immortalized in the heart-warming children's series "The Adventures of JT and My Little Pony of Flaming Death!" Copyright 2005, soon to become an award-winning d20 supplement!

If you make this and it becomes and award-winning d20 supplement, I'll buy eight copies. Assuming, of course, they aren't all burnt to a crisp first by the pony.

I am relieved to say that StupidSmurf is not my real name!

If you make this and it becomes and award-winning d20 supplement, I'll buy eight copies. Assuming, of course, they aren't all burnt to a crisp first by the pony.

Ok, you got a deal. I'll form my own d20 gaming company called "What the...? Games", and its two flagship products will be the abovementioned pony adventure, and Bo-Bo-Bo BoBo BoBo: The Roleplaying Game. Naturally, I'll have my own line of limited edition miniatures, each one a faithful, exact rendition of a shapeless blob. No two alike! Collect 'em all! If they really take off, I'll released "Shapeless Blob Combat: The Tabletop Tactical Rules". Rounding out my product line will be..."Collectible Card Game: The Collectible Card Game."

Charles,

I thought you did an excellent job there at Wizards. Keep your head up
