D&d Game Designer Pay

I'm surprised they just didn't give it to someone known and trusted in the industry. It is a small industry and that job requires experience.

Well, they need to advertise it before somebody known and trusted in the industry can apply for it. I don't think they headhunt.

Hopefully this means an expansion of the design team based on the success of this edition rather than someone having put in a two week notice.

Ooof. All these positions seem to pop up just a bit too early for me. I'd love to work for WotC and I genuinely think I've got the project-based attitude and team-based development experience, but I just got out of uni and into the games industry proper, so I feel like I need another 2-3 years under my belt, at the very least, before I have a shot to get anywhere other than the bottom of the slush pile. Oh, well. Time to work harder!

Optimistic: Hmm, reversing the trend of the Xmas layoffs? Growing the team is a good thing.
Cynical: Want to get someone in and up to speed because they are planning on letting go a known problem but would rather have proper hand-off.
Neutral-ish: Someone is leaving and they want to replace them.
