I have enjoyed many of WotC's releases in the past few years, and I wish all of you the best.  I hope that we will continue to see you on the boards, and that you and the other employees will find good jobs soon.  Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your second child!  You are handling this bad news with a great deal of class. I am trying to recall how far WotC is from its top number of employees.  I can't recall, but a layoff around the holidays is always rough.  I can's say what this means for the Dungeons and Dragons line, as it seems that Hasbro has been making cuts in many areas.  As for Hecatomb, I was not really aware of the product.  We should remember that Hasbro is a large company, and the the decision to get rid of many of the big salaries could not only reflect issues beyond the D&D line..  The firings could reflect cuts throughout many divisions of Hasbro.  (I have little insight into how Hasbro is doing as a whole, but I have seen companies make cuts in all divisions because of problems in a few subsidiary companies.)I have worked for some large companies, and will testify to how hard it is to make sweeping changes.  Projects can be in development for months, or years.  So, based on what we have seen on these boards about releases going into September, I agree that we would not notice major changes for another year. (Who is the new manager?   I am slightly worried about someone managing the D&D line who may not be familair with gaming.)Siran Dunmorgan and Muddyboots:  Welcome to the boards!  I wish it was under better circumstances.</blockquote>
