D&D (2024) [+] Position filled: Senior Narrative Worldbuilding Designer (+My Application) [Positive Thread]

[Sionainn | Twelvefold D&D]

A major position at Wizards has just been filled, by a person as yet unknown. The Senior Narrative Worldbuilding Designer position was posted on May 9th, and is now closed.
Here's the posting on Wizards career site, and on Linkedin. Anyone know who was hired for this role?

I myself applied, as a dark horse candidate...in case anyone is interested, here's my application:
Saving D&D! [PDF on Google Drive]

Here are some of the key points I offered:

• First: Healing the Company Narrative. Through structurally distancing the D&D RPG Studio from Hasbro. As its own certified B-Corp.
• The Twelvefold Revolution: A new D&D Narrative
• “The world doesn’t need another D&D world!”
• “The default D&D world is…the homebrew sandbox”
• Perennialized Products following the D&D: Twelvefold Revolution

I include samples of my worldbuilding, where TSR-alum Mike Grey and I designed a map of what he calls "Motherland," the World of the AD&D Action Figures and the Kingdom of Fantasy Forest. And also my collaboration with Rose Estes to map out what she calls "QuestWorld"...the World of the Endless Quest gamebooks.

I also would plan for 6E within two to four years.

Lastly, I request a [+] positive thread, for the sake of my own emotional health. No one is obliged to like or comment on my application, but if it's negative, please spare me at this time, thank you.

My initial reaction is that your application seems aggressively critical of Wizards, so I am interested in your strategy. Was this a serious application, or were you using it as a way to critique the company?

I like that you included the pronunciation of your name. I do not think that Hasbro would jump at selling dnd to Piazo to make it a B-corp.
