Re: Layoffs at Wizards of the Coast
Here's a rather comprehensive list of people I've heard mentioned:

Randy Buehler (VP of digital gaming)
Andrew Finch (director of digital games)
Stacy Longstreet (senior art director)
Julia Martin (editor)
William Meyers (creative manager, digital design)
Dave Noonan (game designer)
Jennifer Paige (online community manager)
Jennifer Powers (marketing)
Jonathan Tweet (game designer)


~24 people laid off, cutting the WotC staff to around 100, so around a 20% workforce cut.

If you need to be added to the RPG.net Google Wave, please search in Google Wave using with: public rpg.net (remove the space between : and public before searching -- RPG.net parses the : and p as a smiley.). If that doesn't work, please post in this thread. I will no longer be manually adding people to that Wave.

That's what the AK-47 is. Civilization-in-a-can.
