I've heard good things about the Conan book. Not a world I ever had an interest in but I'm glad others are enjoying the tome. Spelling errors?  I had hoped Mongoose fixed the editing problems they were having. I'm glad I decided against buying Lone Wolf now.

WOTC has internet ninjas? Who would have thunked it? Is this a full-time job with benefits or purely part-time position? |

Thats a good point. I believe the answer is TSR's\WotC's dedication to the setting.... which is what gives my concerns over the release of Eberron - now that WotC have a deep interest in this new setting, they are likely to neglect FR a little - they already have proved this with ceasing to produce adventure modules for the Realms.
Even if WotC have had enough of FR, I think they will keep it as a novels-only setting like Dragonlance.... and hopefully sell the gaming rights to another company, as happened with Ravenloft and Dragonlance. Maybe it is time to give someone else ago, some company who will have the passion for it. |

Well, I'm glad the Eberron seems to be somewhat well recieved. Most of the stuff on the web that I've read from people who have it or have seen it (that would be me) has been good. My players want me to run a campaign in it sometime in the future when my FR campaign wraps up. However....
:)
There is always a bandwagon to be joined when a new setting comes around.I know, I've hung out on ENworld long enough to watch this phenomenon. It is truly amazing.
I've seen so many campaign setting from WoTC come and go that I can't help but wonder how much support this will recieve. Will it continue on and still be here 5 years from now? Ten?

Too bad you couldn't telework or something so that they'd never know.  I'd say you're able to act as professionally as necessary -- unless the standard is higher than it seems.  |

Good for you! Now apply for and get this job so you can keep in touch with me and let SB know about all the new stuff being planned.
Well, okay. You'll just need to make a small trip to the artificer's-I need potions of the following:
-Age Ten Years
-Gain College Degree
-Gain Experience in Field
-Protection from NDAs
Now go!
And things have gone full circle... |

Hey whatever keeps them in business to produce more Realms material is fine by me. |

No-it's the next great thing. One happy convert here-going through Dungeoncraft(and related articles) to plan out a campaign, and I'm realizing it's been way too long since I referenced this stuff. D&D hasn't felt this fresh in quite awhile-too bad all my work will need to be redone once Sharn: City of Towers comes out, but that's the way things go. |

Some one needs to give WotC a free perscription for an ADD pill to cure their short-attention span.
Wow, in a short time span, they've posted something looking for a writer, an editor, and now a game designer. What's next? |

Shorter Link
Dargoth, can you please replace your link with the above to prevent horizontal scroll? Thank you.
And why couldn't they just rehire a loss? Steven, why not try applying? |
