    YES! Tom LaPille is gone!

    That's right legacy lovers, Tom "I hate fun cards" LaPille is moving to D&D R&D. Meaning he is now out of our hair and we can all relax a little about Wizards destroying our beloved format.

    I'm glad he wasn't fired and was just relocated, because I would have felt quite petty.

    Statistically it's a very low chance, but what if his replacement is way worse?

    I'm trying to imagine that, and I can't.

    I feel sorry for my friends who play D&D :(

    Best line so far ^^
    If you fail to explain the reason behind your choice, technically, it's the wrong choice.

    YES! No more ginger ruining our fun. At least D&D is better suited for "House Rules" moreso than competitive Magic formats.

    Or better yet... race tomtroll!

    I think I understand his positioning now that I see he has been thinking about moving on. Most folks that are planning on leaving a job mentally 'leave' much earlier than they physically leave. It's human nature to start preparing for the new venture while giving lower priority and bad performance to the old one you haven't left yet.

    He's still a pile of douchebag bullshittery.

    I think you meant this would be the prestige class for the Sable Stag rage.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    I just hope the format/game's direction is much improved and that they promote someone who has a better understanding of what is good for the game.

    QFT. It's better than 4th Edition in every way.

    I actually think that either Eric Lauer or Mike Turian would be good candidates for Development team leader. They both have sharp minds for balancing out constructed play, and in the case of Turian, is a limited genius.

    Well, WotC created "D&D" hasn't existed since the release of the 4th Edition and disowning of all the previous editions. There isn't much left for him to destroy there, the current executives have done a marvellous job at it already. Thank god 3.5, for all its problems, was saved by the OGL and the SRD, something WotC holds no power over any longer.

    Coming soon, D&D 5th Edition: top-down designed with a 1950s-era gangster feel! All dice are replaced with coins to flip! All previous classes replaced with: Dames, Irish Mobster, Mafioso, Crooked Cop, FBI, and lovable elderly shopkeeper that gets gunned down in crossfire.

    Also @Kevin: wtf is that video man? Quit making me feel old by reminding me that I absolutely loathe everything that appeals to teenagers.
    I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel
