Still designing. WotC announced a little while back--weeks? months? I lose track--that Rob was stepping out of the "lead" position to just be a staff designer, so that he could spend less time on managerial stuff and more time writing/designing.

I might be misremembering, but I thought that the announcement also stated that Rob was moving from design to development.

Somebody please rename this thread

I've renamed it (although it will make some posts on page 1 confusing!)

Nope, I was wrong. He's a designer. Link here.

Maybe when the Penny-Arcade/PvP/Wil Wheaton podcasts wrap up, they'll use the podcast for this type of thing.

That would be awesome.

"I don't know where to start with you. Do you even know who you're talking to? Kind of a big deal."

"Developer's a good job, mate."

"Some designers think they can outsmart me. Maybe... maybe. But I have yet to meet one who can outsmart playtest."
