I am so excited for WoW Forever! Looking like my first/main will be an arcane mage Who else is playing?

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Arena team here with a quick update. We had our first bargaining meeting with the company on Tuesday October 20th where we laid the framework for future bargaining sessions and discussed some initial proposals.

Thank you for the tremendous outpouring of support you’ve shown us over the last week. You’re truly proving that an adventuring party is only as strong as each of its members.

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

We want to deliver quality games, but the constant crunch and the lingering threat of layoffs at Wizards keeps us from delivering our best work. Join D&D's Joey Haeck in calling for Wizards to recognize our union and sign our petition. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

I am thrilled and proud beyond measure to support the amazing workers who create and design the games I and my loved ones have spent a lifetime playing. I implore everybody to sign the petition and signal boost the campaign as far and wide as we can!

My name is Jessica Redekop. I am a professional game designer for TTRPGs, and have done freelance work for Wizards of the Coast. I ask Hasbro and WotC leadership to voluntarily recognize their workers' union. I don't maintain working relationships with companies that don't support their workers.

So excited to be a part of this effort. It is another step towards strengthening the gaming industry, and empowering the creatives who make the games you love. Please join us in signing the petition in the linked post. Show your support of this effort. #dnd #wotc #uwotc #mtg #unionstrong

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

It is really, really depressing to learn how many people do not in fact find that obvious.

I started reading 4th Wing—that looks wrong—Fourth Wing. Anyway, the first person present tense is sending me. I don't know that I'll ever be used to it. But the story is good so far. Vicki was surprised I'd read something so het, but any drink is a desert...

Never have I ever written a mimic into an adventure because it's my brand. I do it because they're appropriate for the situation... Which is often.
