Perhaps this will calm (temporarily, at least) the ongoing rumors about D&D being sold in the near future? Companies about to sell brands or divisions usually don't hire new employees first.

Look at the location - that's for the rest of Hasbro, not WotC. It's a safe assumption that only the Renton, WA jobs are WotC.

Though if there was a Preschool D&D, I'd have bought it. Right now I have kindergarten/1st grade kids that I'm just running with a watered down version of the standard rules.

Not really true. Companies of that magnitude seldom can base their staff levels off potential news. They will hire as needed (HR/staffing being separate from most development considerations) to fill any roles they need filled at the time. It is when cutbacks are made that you see folks getting axed, or when a company or division is actual sold/traded, you might see the new management 'restructuring' to eliminate/change employees to accommodate their (new) plans... seldom beforehand.

Yeah, I saw the location but couldn't resist the link.

Will they just repackage OD&D for the kids ?

I am surprised this thread has gone so far without any mention of the pun between wizards and staves, if unintentional it is priceless.
