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.

John Hight from Blizzard will now head Wizards of the Coast. This seems to be further evidence that WotC wants to go fully digital. Interesting that they hired an "old white guy" for the job.

Sounds about right, considering WOTC's plans for D&D and MTG. It did make me stop and finally realize, "Who DO you really hire to run a brand like this?" Anyone in the tabletop industry is going to have a major increase in job title. The RPG industry isn't like film or video games where there's piles of companies of comparable size. Paizo is probably the closest. After that, the size of companies start dropping. So, based on their digital plans, this probably makes sense. I'm also glad I haven't bought anything WOTC in almost a decade.
