[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 4668959, member: 5265"] Hi, Sammael-- I'm not under NDA, and I never have been. But I won't talk specifics because, frankly, it's not my place. I'm also not going to directly answer your specific questions, because Peter knows a lot more about it than I do, and gave a great answer that I really couldn't add anything to. I will say this: If you don't like WotC's creative output (and I think this applies to any other company as well), that's fine. Feedback positive and negative is a natural part of the creative process, and I'm pretty sure Peter and Shoe are glad to have it. But when you put the blame on bureaucracy and corporate suits and higher-ups' "pets" and so on, you basically say that Peter and Shoe are hapless lapdogs. You relegate every person at WotC whose name you know or have heard to the position of minion. You say they have no responsibility for the complex decisions they make every day, and have no right to take pride in the products that blossom from their fertile minds and hard work. If you want to know who's responsible for this mini or that decision, start with the good folk from R&D and Brand who read and respond to posts on ENWorld all the time. WotC may be a big company, but it's made up of real people who care passionately about the products they put out, and you have their ear. Inventing mythologies of invisible corporate droids just undermines your points and the conversation in general. [/QUOTE]
