Re: Re: More WotC Layoffs
I've had a couple of people tell me that rumour, but I've had more people telling me its not true. Right now, I don't know. I'll wait until someone I know well gives me some solid info - there are a couple of people at or around WotC whose info I trust 100%.

I understand that Stan! Brown is on the list as well. I understand that he had just been tasked with reinvigorating the playtesting program.
It will be interesting to see who inherits it.
Skip Williams has been with TSR and then WotC since... well, since forever. He's the only person to have worked on 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition. I'm really surprised that he was amongst the layoffs. His wife Penny was laid off, too.

I thought Jeff Grubb had been around for that long as well. Maybe I am mistaken...

yep
you have to wonder what the **** is going on over there. personally i just think the non-gaming guys have decided to cull the crop and put in people who are more pliable, more likely to do whatever they're told without having any silly problems like treating the game with more respect than they (the non-gamers) think it should be treated. sounds like the goals are switching from making a good product into making a product that sells more.
ah well... i could just be doom and gloomy. Only nice thing about it is that the guys who made the game can easily find work doing what they were doing before. and hopefully skip and jeff will continue putting out good stuff.
i fear that in 20 years DnD may morph into something so banal it will be unpalatable.
