Layoffs at WotC

Posted by michael on from the failed-their-saving-throw dept.

Abies writes "During last year or so, quite a lot of people were fired from WotC - current owners of the D&D line. A few days ago, _most_ of big names out there had to quit - including Skip Williams and Jeff Grubb. Official WotC press info, Enworld news about that and a Monte Cook thread contain some more detailed info. Do you think it will spell an end to D&D ? After something which seemed to be a ressurection of old-time RPG, Hasbro seems to kill the biggest RPG company out there. Will OGL and the D20 license be enough to preserve the genre ?"

      My initial thoughts too.

      What does WotC stand for, anyway? Wish of the Clowns? Washing of the Clones?

    Someone here at work ate the entire Taco Bell Family Pack by himself. I think it is safe to say there is going to be a biological-based terror attack soon. (_O_)

      Funyuns rock. I have a hard time understanding why they still make them, since I'm the only person I know that likes them and eats them with any regularity.
