I mean, they haven't done that in over a decade, what with the game doing well and all.Is it time for the annual WotC pre-Christmas layoff already?
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.These days I have to imagine that if you have any sort of strong WotC / D&D credit on your resume you can move on to another creative position elsewhere for probably better money... or you have made enough connections in the business that you can decide to go independent and make your own stuff and still maintain your standard of living.
