Books Roll for Damage, Lose Your Job

Wizards of the Coast, the local publisher of Dungeons and Dragons, laid off employees yesterday in what appears to be all levels of the company, including game designers and members of the burgeoning D&D digital wing, which I reported on here. Reports are sketchy as of yet as to how many have been let go. The company's press release is highly unhelpful.

(Thanks to anonymous Slog Tipper, who says " at least I'm checking these things out while I should be working, which I hope somehow makes it a little less dorky. ")

Oh crap, I hope my friend who works there is okay. He should be, but STILL.

I guess it's good thing that I gave up on trying to get a job there a year or two ago.

Hope my homegirl Emi still has a gig there.

Dave Noonan getting laid off is like Savage getting fired from the Stranger.

Since I'm a 14th level ranger/cleric, I'm not worried at all about getting laid off.

Paul, you're like the Senior Nerd Correspondent of the Slog.

It makes me happy.
