SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So Double-D 's Livestream apologia of �#wotc� (ex)CEO Cynthia Williams' is just wrong.
She got nothing done, ran �#dnd� into the ground, failed all her own objectives, but will now probably get a bigger DEI position in spite of it. �#ttrpg� �#dnd5e� �#OSR�

Cynthia Williams failed her promises and plans. Neither of which were going to be particularly great for the hobby, because on top of not really standing up to the woke, and aiming to illegally retro-remove the OGL, trying at switching things to digital D&D with microtransactions is... shitty.

 But yeah, pretty much a failure even from the perspective of the sketchy corporate master plan as well.

Also, none of the midwits in the C-Suite lost their jobs. Shit, even Williams is getting her golden parachute after torching WotC. Hasbro deserves whatever terrible fate (may) befall it in the future.

Clearly the take away message is that the third time's the charm for a woman named Williams to head the company in charge of D&D!

On the bright side at least this one did not hand off a section of the D&D IP to her nephew in perpetuity.
