I just have this fear that it's going to end up like Limp bizkit's recent guitarist search
no offese to anyone named within. July 3, 2002 - Wizards has chosen the winner to there "create a fantasy setting" contest and the winner is... ... Wizards of the Coast! Ceo of Wizards elaborated, "What we really found out was that people wanted more settings we developed in house, with our already amazing pool of talent." as to what type of setting will be coming out, James Cooke has this to say. "All the submissions pouring in have set our minds flaring. Our talent pool has thought up enough new settings that we will be publishing one every years for the next 50 years, at least." Fans commented "Is this a scam?" New lead developer of WotC, Bill Jemas replied, "no, these will all be completely new individual ideas created. Sure some may have a strikingly similar feel to something that was submitted but remember everyone signed agreements not to sue us. Besides even if they did sue, who would listen to a bunch of overweight, pimply faced, whining fanboy wannabes?" When fans asked for an apology to his inflamatory statements, Jemas denied but offer instead that if his book sold ten bajillion copies , he would allow fans to hit him with pies at Origins. Pre-orders have already reached into the kajillions stated president of Hasbro, through tears. sorry, I had to digress a bit into the marvel comics situation but you get the idea. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Weldon Dodd >Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 10:38 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] WotC looking for a new Fantasy Setting... > >I'll take July 31st. > >Foolishly optimistic dates aside, I think this is a cool >idea.
