It has been an absolute honor working alongside Chris these past few years. He is brilliant, wise, and whimsical in the best of ways. I wouldn’t be where I am without him. 💖
Thank you for teaching me how to be a good steward for this wonderful game, Chris. We’ll make you proud!

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Now that I'm not about to commit a murder (run in with white trash, sleep is restorative), let me say some words about why the Meet and Greet is important.
"You're preaching to the choir, Pam."
Am I, though? I heard some white folks were upset that there was no Meet and Greet for white people.
