[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 6071577, member: 5038"] I am looking for links to the following D&D related articles and am having no luck. I am hoping other ENWorld members can help. 1. A series of articles or blog posts by a former WOTC employee recounting the stuggle of the early days of WOTC including long hours, people taking out mortgages, stressed marriages, etc. the acquisition of Dungeons and Dragons, and Peter Adkison being concerned about the future fate of D&D (which contributed to the formation of the OGL) (note: edited this description after reading Morrus's response). 2. An article or blog post from a former TSR employee recounting his time at TSR in Lake Geneva including having to break into the building to gain entrance. Any help would be appreciated. Edit 1/11/2013: Both articles have been located. The first was a series of posts by Rick Marshall at Grognardia in the comment section of [URL="http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2010/11/thank-you-ryan-dancey.html"]"Thank you, Ryan Dancey"[/URL]. There are some posts from other WOTC employees. (Thank you billd91!) The second was a [URL="http://community.wizards.com/wotc_huscarl/blog/2009/09/09/hotel_clair_lake_geneva"]blog post[/URL] from WOTC_Huscarl (a.k.a, Steve Winter). Some interesting bits about the building and photos. [/QUOTE]
