Does anyone know what Skips, and the crews plans are?

Just wondering it is very dumb what Hasbro is doing to the creative departments ( do we think they will be selling the license to the rules set.)

Peter Adkison should hire them all, and create Wizards of the Midwest. Seriously.

Okay, maybe he can come up with a better name, but still, why not? It's a good idea, and it's creatively canny.

Heh. Mages of the Middle West has a nice ring to it.

 

[Khan the Warlord]

Bah!

Haven't you people learned ANYTHING from 3rd edition D&D?!

It would be: "Arcane Spellcasters of the Midwest".

 

[Moonlion]

Sorcerers of Seattle, of course, or perhaps Sorcerers of the Sound (for Puget Sound, where Seattle is).

In one of my posts in General RPG Discussion, I suggested it might be good to see the people who were laid off work on a project. Maybe even make a fundraiser for the people who were laid off, especially if anyone is really having a hard time.

I am sure that most of the people who were fired will be fine in the long run. As I recall, Wulf Ratbane has already said he would be glad to hire a few people from WotC.

Maybe Adkison could do Midwest Mages (MWM), to avoid confusing his products with a popular candy or a rap star.

A fundraiser?

Trust me, after taking a break, they'll get back into it via freelancing. They got a lot of avenues, especially when there are companies that are owned and operated by former Wizards/TSR employees.

I just hope they don't take any offer from Kevin Siembieda and his Palladium company.

Ahhhhh... that's funny. Oh, man.

I can't even afford to pay the guys who are already working for me.

What I actually said was I hoped that Peter Adkison would hire them all and then hire ME too!

But hey, if I won the lottery...

Sorry, Wulf. Fatigue is setting in and I am getting ready for sleep.

I think a break will do some people good. I just got a horrible image earlier of people having a job layoff and another major crisis going on. That can be very rough.

With so many gaming companies by former WotC employees, most people should find work when they are ready.

Now if the people on the boards could just buy WotC.

Howabout Barbarians of the Mid West?
