Comment on Top D&D designers join Critical Role after quitting Wizards of the Coast

How much do we actually know about what Crawford is like outside of the WotC machine? He might be perfectly competent but held back by executive mismanagement.

I would put money on the downfall of WotC being exclusively due to being owned by Hasbro and their executives forcing their greedy practices onto the team.

  WotC was already pretty awful before the Hasbro acquisition, as I recall.

    Internally, yea, but I was speaking more towards the decline of their products, not the treatment of staff, that was being discussed in the top comment.

    Yeah, I guess that’s pretty subjective overall. In any case, they’re not so great now.

Crawford worked on Blue Rose, Warhammer Fantasy, and Mutants & Masterminds outside of WotC.

  Ok, I’m not familiar enough with any of those to know what that means in this context. But in any case, weren’t his contributions to those games all ages ago? M&M in particular came out almost 30 years ago, right?
