Slavicsek to leave WotC

[Matt James]

Yikes!

Loremaster - Bill Slavicsek leaves WotC

 

[Mouseferatu]

Holy crap.

I'm not really sure what to say, except "As a fan and a freelancer--thanks for everything, Bill."

 

[Alzrius]

Whoa, this is huge!

I for one salute Bill. He's been a name at TSR/WotC for about as long as I've been playing the game, and his work is on a number of products that I adore. Bill, good luck in your future endeavors!

Of course, I still can't help but wonder about the details. Like, when is he actually leaving? And is it voluntary on his part? And what, if anything, does this signify for WotC's future?

I know we'll probably never know - and that there's a credible case to be made that we shouldn't know - but I'm still curious.

thanks Bill for Alternity. i enjoyed that game.

edit: i hope he is at Gen Con this year. i might have to get him to sign my Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies book. i bought a copy for every member of my group when it came out.

Just saw a Tweet from [MENTION=6671448]Monte[/MENTION]JCook:

"I wish the best for those laid off from Wizards of the Coast today. Some were good friends. All, I'm sure, are talented and capable"

Ouch.

Yeah, a little birdie on Facebook said it wasn't by choice. I may not have liked 4e, but I'm sorry for anyone and everyone laid off. I know how much that sucks.

Can't rep you again so soon, but I echo the feeling.

 

[Mark CMG]

Best of luck and a speedy transition to all.

 

[Shemeska]

For what it's worth, best of luck Bill and thanks for 'Harbinger House' and 'Doors to the Unknown'.

Bill, thanks for Alternity.
Thanks for signing my Alternity books at Gen Con in Milwaukee.
Thanks for your work on West End Games Star Wars.
Thanks for your contributions to Planescape and the worlds of TSR.
Thanks for interviewing me for that design job at WotC in 2007; it was the first step toward the fulfillment of a (now realized) dream.
I owe you one.
We all owe you one.
