Who Will Get the Axe?

[Lizard]

Linae Foster's email address autoreplies with: "I am no longer with Wizards of the Coast. Please contact Scott Rouse for an inquiries regarding licensing for Dungeons & Dragons."

That's a damn shame. I liked Linae.

Oh.

Damn.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Lurking Lidda is gone?

 

[Einan]

And this is why you can't trust WotC with the GSL. The person who promised us a better tomorrow no longer works here. Stupid company.

Oh!

I wonder if it has just to do with the "refocusing", or if she decided it herself (or both). I suppose she might say that herself on this forum, but so long we could speculate wildly about how she wasn't happy with the GSL and decided to go, or alienated other decisions makers with her position.

Hm .... one must wonder if she got a bit too outspoken for her own good about the GSL.

Be that as it may, I like your signature, Einan -- very solid words!

According to the grapevine, Gamer_Zero (Mike Lescault) got the axe.

Edit: It's confirmed according to Solice, the new community manager over at the WotC boards.

I don't know about any of the complaints regarding Mike, but from my own personal experience, he was a nice guy. He was fairly good about getting back to me when I had questions and he seemed to be trying to work towards making the community a better place.

Mike, if you're reading, I wish you the best.

Someone is suggesting that Hersocape will be cut because it is successful? I mean, you are suggesting that HS proves you can sell non-random minis profitably, but will be cut because WotC people are petty and don't want that proven? Seriously?

We know nothing about the profitability of HS or DDM. But to suggest a profit driven company would cut a profitable line because it proved their theory on random minis wrong is ridiculous.

Yes, because nothing WoTC does is ever ridiculous.

Well f(our-letter-word). There goes a good shred of hope for the revised GSL.

Just look at Games Workshop for something similar.

"This 40K RPG sold out the first printing on preorders, before it even hit the stores -- let's discontinue it 2 days after its release."

Which is why I'm certain they're investing heavily in a new collectible can game, Tuna: The Reckoning.

I think there's a minimum standard of sense we need to apply here
