Job Opening at WotC - Apply for Mike Mearls old job

[Glyfair]

I was browsing various gaming blogs and I discovered this on Mike Mearls blog:

Man, I've been too busy to mention this here, but I've moved over from the development team to the mechanics design team. Anyway, if you want to sit your ass in the very chair I've occupied for the past 22 months, go ahead and apply for my old job. My old desk in the dev pit has a nice, scenic view of the pit's northeast corner. It really is quite lovely.

In addition to all the wordy gunk on that page about job requirements, here are a few unofficial ones:

* You have to have Monday nights free so you can play in my D&D game. Unless you're a total spaz, in which case you can play in Logan's campaign.
* You should probably start painting a Warmachine and/or Hordes and/or Warhammer and/or 40k army/armies.
* Invest in a four door car.

And no, you can't have my posters, the MiniMates on my PC (Booster Gold, Green Arrow, Blue Beetle, Deathstroke), or the box of D&D minis under my desk. They're coming with me over to the mechanics pit.

Gave some very serious thought to it myself. But ultimately, it's design, not development, where I hope to someday hang my hat at WotC.

Not, you know, that I have a hat. Or that there would likely be a place to hang it. Maybe on the back of a chair somewhere...

Well, from development to design is the path Mike has taken at WotC.

I applied for the position a couple of weeks ago. Mike beat me out for the development position a couple of years ago (and rightfully so), but I'm hoping I have a good shot at it this time.

Good luck, man.

And not just because you'd make a great developer, but also because if you get this job, I don't have to compete against you for the next design position.

I always like it when job offerts begin with the scenic view from the office.

Thanks! I agree about the competition, but I'm in the reverse of your position. The development job is the one I really want the most. I'd be happy to have the design job, but development would be my first choice. Hopefully we can both get what we want.

Of D02?

Does it know no limit?

Whoever gets the job.....I just want you to know I posted in this thread. I was with you at the beginning. Yes, me. It was I. I was here when it all started. I think that should be good for a free book or two .

Oh, and I support you 100%.
