WotC Creative Lead Adam Lee leaves WotC

Yea, these last ten years since 2019 has gone on for a looong time.

Even BG: DiA was only released in September 2019. Feels like a different century tbh.

It's obviously a code:



a s c n a e l p e

Rearrange the letters and it's planescae!

And obviously he just forgot to put in another word with the letter p because he meant to make Planescape!

You know, Planescape is an anagram of escape plan ...

There was a recent thread about salaries in RPG creative positions, kicked off by none less than Sean K. Reynolds sharing salary information. No, there isn't really better pay out there in the field, and at least WotC has benefits as well.

Like many professions, you probably have to own it yourself to make the big money.

When there is a history of instability, people often move not to make an upgrade to their position, but to maintain themselves laterally before they lose their job and have to settle for a downgrade. I'm not saying that is necessarily happening here, but it does happen. You often see it when an entity seems to be heading towards releasing personnel, or in cities where a large employer is about to release personnel that will flood the labor market with good candidates (making movement after that point much harder - move now or be stuck for 5 years).

It would be very funny if he's been poached by Hasbro for their Transformers/G.I. Joe RPG efforts.

those aren't being done by Hasbro.

Hasbro has effectively hired a shop to do it. A liaison and person to handle story coordination might well be called for.

Has Hasbro done that?

That's just how licensing works, they have approval. BY the same logic then Disney is doing Star Wars. If you're being paid for something you didn't hire them, they asked permission and as a condition you told them they have to go through an approval process.
