 December 21, 2011 - 1:23am | I just read about this and thought I would post it up here too: Steve Winter and Rich Baker have been let go from Wizards. Both of them were some of the TSR old guard still left around and who had great design insights. http://www.enworld.org/forum/news/315187-wizards-coasts-annual-xmas-layoffs.html -Andrew |
 December 21, 2011 - 5:22am | Seems the D&D community is sorely disappointed with the company over this. For myself I feel sorry for anyone who get the boot before Christmas as I know what it feels like. Can't say that the news has emotional impact for me beyond that as I've little interest in the company these days. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

 December 21, 2011 - 9:23am | ...this, and that, and... hey look... something else!  Limitless reasons abound, take a number, get in line, and/or move on to find other broken things to fix. c'est la vie... vivre et laisser mourir. Oh humans!!  We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |

 December 21, 2011 - 10:58am | It seems that this isn't the first year they've had layoffs just before Christmas. I guess it is common enough that even the artist that does the Munchkin cards did a comic on it on his personal site. http://www.dorktower.com/2011/12/15/dork-tower-thursday-december-15-2011/ Ad Astra Per Ardua!
