I'm a bit surprised the news about Monte Cooks departure (again) hasn't blown up the forums on here.......... www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?monte...Jax

It has in the D&D Next discussion boards, this is 4e though, which he wasn't working on.
I will say with his departure I might give D&D Next another look, I was rather vocally upset on these forums when he came back on.

1. Most of the "exploding" here is in the D&D Next Forums, since that's the project where he was involved in the most
2. For those that did not, in any way, appreciate how his previous project with WotC was a game system that favored and encouraged power gaming as well as spellcasters, he will not be missed
3. For the general 4E crowd, he never was involved in 4E anyway -- at least last I checked -- so it's like "oh, ok" and moving on
4. [ Please insert here next point as to why there isn't much hubbub in the D&D 4E general section on Monte Cook going bye bye on his contract with WotC ]
Seriously, it's not like he's Gary Gygax or what not.

funny you say that because somebody in the D&D Next discussions called him the new Gary Gygax.

They will call anyone who try to bring back "Spellcaster and othe sidekicks" game, a new Gary Gygax.

Yeah, I appreciate the humour, but this belongs in the DnD Next section.

Yeah, D&D is off-topic for the Tavern. I'll request this be moved in the VCL request thread. Odds are it will be moved and then locked since they're locking every Monte thread except for one anyway, but it sure don't belong here.

Howdy folks,
Now that this thread is done playing musical chairs...er...forums...
It also happens to be a duplicate of other threads on the same topic so, we shall now close it.
