news scoop: insider account of how the statement was drafted, and the fear-based culture in Wizards offices

Has anyone heard even a glimmer of multiple firings?

Lemme just check the public firing notices

Ray Winninger?

I'll be interested to see if Linda Codega picks up this one, and if so, what she digs up.

And if she doesn't, that will say something, too.

Down in the package room, nobody cares if you wear a uniform. Or pants.

And that's why its called the package room!

Edit: I feel cheap because someone else made the joke before me.

Anyone who takes that seriously enough to feel discomfort can perhaps spend their boundless imagination on a kilt, rather than.... other things.

I was kidding, although now that you mention it, were I moderated in one of these forums, I would prefer to be moderated by a person in a kilt.

Ray was not fired.

Also you linked a 3 day old thread.

You mean the twitter thread? Regardless, it slipped through the ENW investigative reporting.

It is likely (tho not 100% certain) that a senior Wizards staffer is courageously putting their job and livelihood on the line in order to leak these insights into the behind-the-scenes workings of the biggest D&D news-story in ten years.

And ENW News is cautiously yawning?

And y’all are busting my chops when i suggest that ENW News get up and go talk to the main leak-reporters? whether they be on twitter or Youtube or whevever. And collaborate with them, or at least make a personal ‘in’ with them, to better sense the scope.

For 24 years I’ve gone to Eric Noah’s World for D&D news!

It may well be that legitimate leaks may continue to be revealing for months to come.

I don't understand your stance here. You think that ENWorld should hire staff specifically to chase down leaks from WotC? How does that fit with their mission statement?

I didnt even know there was a mission statement.

Cause he said he was not, unless you assume he was lying.
