WotC has a brand new D&D designer, and it's Kate Welch! She plays Rosie Beestinger, the Lightfoot Halfing Monk in Acquisitions Inc's "C Team". She starts work on February 2nd. That's all I know for the moment, but more info if I hear it!

Why does it all matter anyway? We probably won't even notice a difference in the products that come out. She will probably just end up being another Shelly Mezz.

What does that even mean? Why would a marketing team member and a design team member be comparable in their effect on product?

You do realize the laugh button doesn't work in that way anymore. You look silly trying to "laugh with" a post that the original author wasn't laughing to begin with. You are giving me XP and making yourself look silly.

If you have to ask then it's not worth trying to explain.

Wrong again! They do of course make choices, but every choice is is grounded in tactical or metagame concerns, no decision is character driven. You might as well call playing Monopoly to be roleplaying.

(we have rp'd monopoly, i was the ruthless businessman, defeated by the green movement developers.)

Well, the only link I can see is they both happen to be women? Their roles in the company, and their job experience, seem quite different.

I am a very silly man, so this seems appropriate.

I like Shelly, she amuses me, but she's not a designer, she's a marketer, not really comparable jobs.

Okay now that is the best way to play monopoly, that should awesome.

The jobs don't have to be comparable. What's comparable is the fact that if you let Shelly go tomorrow nobody outside the company would know any better. That's how much of an impact on the business she would be. I get the feeling this person would be the same way.
