No more Scott Rouse @ WOTC...

[ShinHakkaider]

He was one of the Brand manager at WOTC and was responsible for helping to relax the GSL from it's earlier form. He kept a relatively open line of communications with the fans and even though I'm not a 4E person he seemed like a decent enough guy. Hope he lands ok wherever he's going.

Lisa said he has always been a friend of Paizo. Maybe he can find a home here.

[Agognon]

Didn't Paizo say they just hired a new editor?

[Skeld]

His post on ENWorld.

Sorry about that! I forgot to post the link when I copied it. But it looks like someone down thread has taken care of that for me.

I wonder if this is a layoff (and if there are more) - or if Scott is leaving on his own.

[David Fryer]

No idea, but Lisa has said Scott is not the new Paizo editor.

Maybe he's the new customer service hire. :)

I know Lisa said it was someone who is active on the boards, but maybe Scott was trying to be anonymous, so as not to upset his bosses. For all we know, he could be posting as Heathansson or Mairkurion or Sebastian. Again, :)

Very well, I have an announcement!

Spoiler:

I really want to know who the new editor is, and I'm sorry about Scott. Also, I've decided to not be offended that my opinion was not explicitly sought on this matter.

Do you know, I'm getting the weirdest sense of déjà vu here? Oh well. Let's get on with this.
<Draws deep breath.>
[best Luna Lovegood conspiracy theory voice] I would just like to state, for the record, that it is blatantly clear that Scott Rouse was in fact the head of a consortium of Jelly Beaners who had infiltrated the US gaming industry and that he was planning to open three casinos in every state, under the 'Dice or Die' brand name.
Furthermore, he had clones of four twentieth century dictators with moustaches in his basement whom he used to play 'Dumbledore: Anarchy at Hogwarts' with, was taking backhanders from the secretary-general of the UN, and had bribed the Norwegian-Swede claret-butt conspirators to make sure that Barack Obama got a noble peace prize this year instead of Bob Geldof.
He also regularly chain-smoked uzis filled with oil, and as a secret identity was a lawyer who juggled kittens with chainsaws.
Oh, and he had a secret base under the polar icecap which controlled laser-satellites made from diamonds and had the capacity to fire newspaper headlines at submarine bases. He may have had an eye-patch, a sinister Russian accent, and a tendency to say 'Goodnight Mr. Bond' whilst stroking his pet goldfish.
He was an atheist evolutionist who believed in god and was in league with the devil and creationism. He had a team of genetic scientists who were trying to breed an invincible army of Tarrasques from flies found in chewing gum at Madison Square Gardens, whose hide could also be used to make special 'cheaty' baseballs from.

Okay, I know I've forgotten some bits, but I hope that clears up the real reason why Scott Rouse had to go...

This topic is also being discussed on a thread on the 4E forum (hence Lucinda's double-take).
