Some people think its Anthony Valterra or Ed Stark, but the truth is far more interesting. Basically R&D works non-stop getting manuscripts ready, and then twice a month three guys who smoke a lot and wear expensive pin-striped suits come in from god-knows-where to evaluate what is "official." They go through D&D material, D20 material, and even some stuff from sources too obscure to imagine, all to decide what is and is not "official." Their meetings take place in secret meeting rooms that are little more than glorified bomb shelters beneath the WotC offices. We don't really know what they look like because they wear hoods that cover their tentacles... er I mean faces. We also don't know what they discuss, but we do know that they order nothing but sushi during their meetings.After several days of meetings, they emerge with a new list that specifically defines what is and what is not "official." At that time they are thanked profusely for their guidance by all the staff. We are all grateful that they spared our brains yet again, and then they leave for another two weeks. No one outside knew about this until now, but the janitor disappeared, never to be heard from again after a visit last year.Oh no, I've said too much. The office door is opening... Ahhh! [Gurgle, gurgle, slurp].</blockquote>
